[QUOTE="dean nelson, post: 79253, member: 1305"] Don't necessarily have to stay off...just the vehicles do. Falling through on foot isn't all that dangerous in its self as long as you don't panic and its not wicked cold out. As long as you have some ice spikes and hopefully a few other people in the area a guy get out fairly fast. Growing up on a lake we would fall through for fun than haul ass for the hot tub. Hell I would recommend doing that for everyone.... Just get some rope and guys together and fall through so you know what it feels like and what to do to get out. One big thing is get your elbows on the ice but instead of trying to lift your self up start kicking your feet. This will push your lower body up to the surface then all you need to do is slid forward. Then it's just a matter of getting the nerve up to go get your gear that likely near where you fell through. As for the ice I see the river is actually making some today and has started to jam it up south of expressway so it will take a touch longer for Bismarck to clear all the way out. [/QUOTE]
