I almost got boxed in

A few years ago I was paddling on a local river impoundment. Little movement on the water, beautiful sunny day with hardly a breeze. As I was returning to the put-in I noticed things looked completely different, and I had to sprint to beat the moving ice from boxing me out.

I've gotten my bow caught as you describe, not quite as bad - in my case the floe didn't break. Still a scary experience!
