Looking at the ice on a frozen lake or river, there is no way to tell how thick or safe it is.....it's always a bit of an unknown... quickly plunging into cold water with a small amount of cold water getting into your lungs and ears.....is a fast drowning.
With the seventeen dollar, (16.94 & shipping - swimoutlet.com) Tyr float belt, you get a second chance, plus it can be used for swimming in the summer.
Today's Feb 26 Boston Globe has a front page article "Death on Derby Day at Lake Winnipesaukee" 'The morning of Feb 11 was the beginning of the worst day in the lakes history.' It is an unusually lengthy article, starts on page 1, and then takes up entirety of pages 12, and 13, and includes two photos, and one map; have yet to read it but just actually caughed up $4.50 to buy the paper....so that makes it a very special newspaper article......LAKE WINNIPESAUKEE.....the largest Boston Globe article ever, ever written about the lake in the last 122-years....or something!
