    Have spent 18 years in Canada working, and been in on the ice roads, Awaian is close to the mark.
    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 do the residents of kanuckistan do to recover these vehicles? or are they just waiting for them to pile up deep enough to build a road across the lakes?

    driving over ice, brrrrrr.
    never did like it, talk about trusting (especially with melt lying around on top).
    my first job out of town, shiney 18yr old (in alberta) was for a seismic drilling outfit.
    catch a bus north and wait
    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.

    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,

    @Dundee. I think I've just been talking to your mate while waiting for his man to finish milking. The fire had slipped my mind until just now. He's been on the place for 10 yrs. Was share milking until a couple of yrs ago, then went back contract milking on same place.
    He said he'd come down from up north, and the farm was only a couple of km from the fire. His kids have just left home by the sound of it.

    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.

    Probably counting on sealed wheel-bearings that have fukt out and welded- up due to misplaced trust in the seals and no checks or fresh grease.

    It was around 3-5km from a boat ramp
    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

    Yep probably.....they put the flag on tho by the looks.
    It is surprising how many boats you see only held to the trailer by the winch rope and maybe a safety chain with nothing tieing the boat to the trailer tho.
