iceman Posted November 27, 2021 Report Share Posted November 27, 2021 On a lake and not even December. Come on now. That helmet is not protecting very much now is it? south of Chibougamau. Saved by his FXR FAST gear. https://ici.radio-canada.ca/nouvelle/1843217/motoneigiste-combinaison-flottante-sauvetage-chibougamau?fbclid=IwAR153B-Eu0C35Vr1AmltAU94VXu4hMaHHG9tWaCb7n8X_kJ0Ms5TzYPjd2k Rescue of a snowmobiler at Lake David south of Chibougamau A man was rescued from the waters of Lake David. His floating suit lifted him to the surface. A snowmobiler sank in the waters of Lake David, south of Chibougamau around 12:30 p.m. Saturday, but luckily his floating suit allowed him to rise to the surface. The man then managed to slip on a thin layer of ice while waiting for help. About fifteen people, including firefighters, police and relatives of the snowmobiler were looking for him. He was quickly taken to the nearest hospital in hypothermia, but according to the Sûreté du Québec there is no fear for his life. Sûreté du Québec spokesperson Hélène Nepton explains that the suit certainly helped save the man's life. The combination and the quick arrival of help, the man was really lucky, said Nepton, in a phone interview.

And you are correct but I’m not so sure I would assume this person was even wearing a helmet….. glad he is ok though.
