An interesting little piece on ice strength. Ultimately, safety first is the best approach and to err on the side of caution. I think many underestimate the strength of good ice. That being said, it is difficult to determine if there is "good" ice or weakened ice in many situations.
Safety first. Looking forward to hooking in to some lakers this weekend.
