Snowmobilers bring $128M into the economy of my county every year. We are thankful for the money. In return we send home 4-12 dead, 40-100 or so get life-flighted out as the nearest hospital is 70 miles away. There are untold hundreds/thousands of other less serious injuries.

Those who don't die wish they had... the DNR fines you $500 a day for water pollution and they hire a recovery crew for as much as $5,000 to fish the sled out. They do sell wrist spikes so you can fish yourself out but all the dead ones were too smart to wear them.
