Hate to say it but fork that!:XD:
Bloody lucky it was a cab tractor I would say, wasn't on our place. I have had the pleasure of a mower blade coming through the back window before, the impact took most of the momentum out of it but fair sh*t myself when the window shattered and the blade landed up on the control panel on my right side.

A heavy vehicle compresses the ice, and a small wave forms ahead of the heavy vehicle, this isn't a problem until it hits something (ie the lake shore ) and bounces back, the bounce turbulence, cause's cracks etc. There are other reasons, ie weight, weak ice, pressure cracks, thermal temps. but in my experience form 8 winters in the Canadian ice roads, and Mines, 80% of break threw, are within a few hundred meters, of the shore line.
One winter, Nuna logistics had a 14g and 16g cat grader, at each end of Tibbit lake NWT, from excessive speed. both partly sticking out of the ice,
Thus on big lakes, the approach speed to shore is slow, say 10kms an hour, but the may be 60-70kms an hour on open water on a big lake.
what is it about BB that catches kanuckys?
not far from u SM.
That there poses a very interesting recovery problem/solution.Quote:

Didn't know that. :)Quote:

my first job out of town, shiney 18yr old (in alberta) was for a seismic drilling outfit.

guy (old dude (like me now lol)) rolls up in ford 250 4x4.
head down the road, dodging locals in dog sleds, get to point x, turn left and on to the McKenzie R.
wwhoa, wot the??
Ha, first time I drove on ice was, March 99, crossing the Mckenzie, on the way to Yellowknife, was following a fuel truck, but the noise,creaking and groaning, of the ice had me nervous,Quote:

Nice boats those to ,:oh noes:
I dont understand how this happens all the time, legally your boat must be strapped down not just held by the winch rope or you are up for a insecure load ticket.Quote:

I reckon they have deove the boat on the trailer and forgot to tie anything on.
Even if it was just held by the winch rope and you forgot everything else. It still shouldnt fall off

How would that let the boat off the trailer ?Quote:

Little rain and a little wind and because all the trees are planted full grown they only have a very shallow root system.
There was actually a smaller tree that fell on a young girl and put her in a coma for a couple months.

He made it through but trimmed some concrete off the underside of the bridge.
