Default I don't ride snow mobiles so maybe someone that does could help me out.

When does common sense kick in. Maybe he didn't wake up saying I'm going to drown myself today, but maybe he could have said to himself as he hopped on his sled and ventured onto thin ice (open in many spots), how can I go about not drowing myself today.
The average sled is 450-650Lbs. and it is said that 3" of ice will hold sled and rider. That said, I don't know if I would ride on 3" of ice. Although many do.
