My instructions to people using my sleds is to stay behind me on the lake and if you feel the ice starting to go, speed up, don't slow down. I like to travel at least 30 on the lake, just because it feels like a good speed if the ice started failing under me. Don't know if that is true or not as I have never skimmed a sled.

Once again, I like going out when I see pick ups out there, and I very much dislike blazing trail on the ice. But as previous posters have said, mistakes happen and families are devastated, it can happen to any of us, anytime.
