I'm not knocking your brother, but are you aware you should go down with the auto until the water does kind of get to a nuteral pressure inside the cab. It then lets you open the door in order to get out, and the hole up on top will not be plugged with a auto.

As the vehickle goes down, you can get pinched between the auto and the ice as you exit.

So you understand I'm not so sure I could keep calm enough myself, it is just what is preached in our area.

Don't mind those sothern coments. Our local Wal-Mart put all ice fishing stock in the clearance bin when a top ranking (warm climate) Wal-Mart man asked what the heck that stuff was.

A friend of mine worked in that department, and he himself was told to get rid of it, no one can walk on water. The stuff was gone for about a year before they restocked.

The workers still to this day remark about why the north won the war. Don't kill the messanger! (read on)

Driving on the ice is as comon in the winter here as it is driving down a ice covered road...point A to point B. It seems every couple of years someone gets a taste of muddy water.

When the brand new bridge across the Mississippi River west of Prarie Du Chine Wisc. (about one year old)( AND that had hundreds of northern born inspectors), ended up having poor quality steel, it was closed down. They brought up a car ferry to move the vehickles back and forth. Once the river started to freeze over, they were in a jamb, so they took backhoes out on the ice to tear up the ice, and keep the path clear of ice.

OK you sothern guys, here is your payback...It was the Northern folks that ran the backhoes / that did not float. And no they did not learn the first three times either, but only stupid people would do it over four times, so they stopped after the fourth time.
