lunkerbasshunter Posted January 3, 2010 Report Share Posted January 3, 2010 Please, It does not really matter how "well" or how many "years" you have been on a certain lake for. It can happen to anyone this time of year. Lots of snow before the cold came and this will happen all over ontario My condolences to the family and friends of this guy. http://toronto.ctv.ca/servlet/an/local/CTV...=TorontoNewHome Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lew Posted January 3, 2010 Report Share Posted January 3, 2010 I heard 4 more guys went thru different areas around Peterboro too but sounds like they all got out safely. Sad to hear these stories every year, but it always seems to happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wormdunker Posted January 3, 2010 Report Share Posted January 3, 2010 My condolences to the families & friends of people who have gone thru the ice. In the case of a snowmobile person - are they not wearing survival/floater suits? Does anybody have info on this question? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigfish1965 Posted January 3, 2010 Report Share Posted January 3, 2010 If you don't want to wear a floater suit, the inflatable life jackets will fit over your regular suit. Less than 200 bucks to save your life! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Cliff Posted January 3, 2010 Report Share Posted January 3, 2010 If you don't want to wear a floater suit, the inflatable life jackets will fit over your regular suit. Less than 200 bucks to save your life! Well, at least it will make the body easier to find. There is no substute for a good survival suit if you do happen to have an accident. I read somewhere that a regular snowmobile suit could give you up to about 18 minutes, a proper survival suit upwards of 45 minutes. Sure makes the probability of getting our alive a whole lot better! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigfish1965 Posted January 3, 2010 Report Share Posted January 3, 2010 I hear ya Cliff..and I wear the floater suit, but they are different than the survival suit. If you can stay afloat, you can stay alive. Some guys just won't wear the floater suits, so an inflatable PFD will make a big difference allowing your head to stay above water untill the initial shock and hyperventilation subsides. Watch the video GCD put up and you can see that it is not difficult to survive going through if you are prepared. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
