The common saying is ice is never 100% safe. This year it took a long time to freeze up the lakes to the point that vehicles were driving on them. When ice conditions are known to be bad during a time when it should be safe, the sheriff will post signs at the public access. That keeps most vehicles off, and the fishermen will walk out. I haven't been on a lake for years but I used to go ice fishing quite a lot . Had a fish house I left out there but that really gets to be a lot of work. Getting snowed in. Lot of snow on ice causing water to come up and freeze house down. Always put mine on blocks but that is extra work also. Then went to collapsible house. Haven't used that in years now. Too old. Like most things, there is of course some danger in going on the ice. Here in Minn, a lot more drown in summer though. Mostly booze related like driving a car. It does make a expensive mess though when a vehicle goes through the ice. The Grand Forks N.D. paper had a poll a couple weeks ago . Asked how many felt safe to go on a lake with one foot of ice or something to that effect. What they didn't ask though was how many of those who felt it to be unsafe would ever go on a lake. I think the results would have been completely different if they had asked how many ice fisherman would feel safe. It had to do with an oncoming fishing contest and the lake was late to freeze up.
