I heard of the same thing happening at Porcupine in northern Utah, can't imagine falling through in that situation, talk about a terrible way to go... Nothing you could do to get out, maybe it's not a bad idea to drill a hole before you get out on the ice very far in locations that could have a fluctuating water level during the winter... Can't imagine how bad that had to pucker you up... bet you walked careful on the way out of there... Ice can be scary stuff... Guess I've had the cracks under me, had a pressure ridge pop up under my brother that popped him off his bucket and sent us running for shore.. Twice at Bear Lake I've had the icesheet I was on break off and start floating away... Both times I've been lucky enough to be able to jump the open water crack and not have either side give way and send me swimming... Guess there are reasons why I'm an ice chicken.... Later J
