Title: fatality in Chicago.
Post by: Minnowhead on February 04, 2012, 07:14:46 PM
If we ever get ice, please don't chance it until it's thick enough.  Just be safe, this guy was only 29.

That's just awful.  We really need to be safe and smart this year.  It's been a weird winter.  Be safe guys, please.

That's bad news.
Everyone be patient for safe ice it is not worth it.
Remember that the ice thickness charts are for perfect ice conditions, clear is perfect, any discoloration means it has to be thicker especiallly with all of our gear we like to haul around.
Hard lesson to learn.
Be safe
