Why is ice less likely to crack if you walk across rather than lie down and crawl?

Pressure is inversely related to the area. As we crawl or lie more area and so less
pressure. If we walk then foot area is less and hence pressure becomes more.
This implies that ice is MORE likely to crack if you walk on it, compared to crawling
on it. Which is probably why rescue workers always lie down on the ice when they're
working to free someone who has fallen through it.
