Lucky guys.

I get that ice fishing has risks, but Murphy stating "no ice is safe ice" is purely asinine. 4" of good ice can hold 100s of pounds per square inch. Simple physics. No politician is a good politician. After the rain tax we'll be hearing about an ice fishing tax once his street brine fund dries up.

People need to educate themselves and deal with the repercussions of a stupid f'n decision. Understand that temp fluctuations like we've had arent conducive to safe ice conditions. Wear a PFD. Wear ice picks. Have ample rope handy. Spud as you go. Invest in friends that'll tell you "it's not a good idea".

Jesus christ...if people just paused for a minute and pulled their heads outta their asses we'd have far fewer statistics.

I’m betting these incidents involved curious bi-standards. No article I’ve read this past week mentioned Ice fishermen falls through ice. These instances involved curious kids or out of staters that simply wandered onto the ice unfortunately. Can this be prevented? No! I really don’t think so. Not everyone has common sense. Not everyone carries ice picks, rope and a spud bar in there Honda Civic or Toyota Prius. Not everyone is an outdoorsman that enjoys ice fishing. I see it all the time!
“Dude! Look at the ice. Let’s check it out!” And they walk on it, take there selfies! Take pics of each other on the ice. This is so cool, then “CRACK and SPLASH”! We have pedestrians in the water at this location and that location. Uhhhhhggggg! All this nonsense for a selfie! It’s really getting old. I can only hope the others involved are safe now. As for the the deceased! R.I.P. Its a sad day for the families and friends involved.

TIGHT LINEZ and be safe my brothers!!!

You can’t fix stupid and you can’t stop crazy!

Reports are that one guy was ice fishing alone and the other 2 were Ringwood police officers who jumped in after him.

The fisherman went into cardiac arrest and taken to the hospital. Nothing on his status
