rufus Posted March 28, 2012 Report Share Posted March 28, 2012 http://www.kenoradai....aspx?e=3517343 Duh... again. Apparently there is a dozen quads floating around on a ice flow now. If they go under, it is their responsibility to raise them at a cost of $10,000 or so each. They can't just abandon them because of possible fuel leakage.

chris.brock Posted March 29, 2012 Report Share Posted March 29, 2012 (edited) I'm guessing a helicopter rental for a few hours (to get their ATVs) isn't cheap Edited March 29, 2012 by chris.brock Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
irishfield Posted March 29, 2012 Report Share Posted March 29, 2012 I'm guessing a helicopter rental for a few hours (to get their ATVs) isn't cheap 3 or 4 grand tacked onto the price of their trip... probably not a big deal compared to losing 60+ grand in machines.

rufus Posted March 29, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 29, 2012 The big controversy is should they be charged the cost of their rescue considering that they were warned to stay off the ice in the first place. Personally, I think they should. What do you think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rufus Posted March 29, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 29, 2012 One of the rescued fisherman is quoted as saying that they are used to being stranded on ice flows. Happens all the time back home in Wisconsin. Guys are getting rescued every day back home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Based on this comment and the constant ignoring danger warnings, yes they definitely should be charged for the rescue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ThisPlaceSucks Posted March 29, 2012 Report Share Posted March 29, 2012 i can't wait for the peanut gallery to come out and defend these guys again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jer Posted March 29, 2012 Report Share Posted March 29, 2012 I don't think there can be a defence...they seemed to have plenty of cash to rescue their ATVs the next day. Hand'em a bill for the whole operation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
