Mid Range Posted December 21, 2009 Report Share Posted December 21, 2009 This will be more suitable for many users overhere Stay off the water, snowmobile group warns The GazetteDecember 21, 2009 9:13 MONTREAL - Despite recent frigid temperatures across Quebec, snowmobilers should avoid lake and river crossings, says the Association des Motoneigistes du Québec. The warning follows the death Saturday of a snowmobiler who plunged into a small lake near Godbout, about 350 kilometres north of Quebec City. The man's two companions were rescued and are recuperating in the hospital. The surface of a lake or river can appear frozen, but the thickness of the ice might not be enough to bear the weight of a snowmobile and its riders, the Quebec snowmobile organization says. Ice should be at least 15 centimetres thick before snowmobilers venture onto a lake or river. Drowning is one of the main causes of death in snowmobile accidents, the snowmobile organization noted in a news release today. Snowmobile route conditions and warnings are available on the group's web site. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, a terrible accident. Everyone needs to be very careful around water this early in the season. I think last season started very much the same, wasn't there a hockey player go through the ice in Western Quebec about this time? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
