And it continues.

Hi, I’m new to the group.  One of my buddies recently put his sled through the ice.  It’s sitting in about 20ft of water.  Looking for someone who does snowmobile recoveries.

Yikes. I don’t see many around here. Sileage wrap the same thing. Most farmers use wrappers here and rap up a row of round bales. Typically stored on edge of field near barn, for easy access.

The carnage will be big this year.  

Lots of extra EI money floating around.

Lots of expensive old sleds and people trying to get there money’s worth.

 

And likely a lot of no trail pass purchasers running with no insurance.

His friend must have no insurance since it would be easier to just make a phone call and be done with it. :-D 

I am not sure how Ins handles sleds that go through the water.

Besides, retrieving a sled in 20 feet of water is not that bad.....some folks make some good money retrieving sleds for folks that have accidents.

Plus there is the possible fine that you could receive as well.

Thankfully they lived and it is a call for help vs. a new story bout another dead snowmobiler.

Yeah we shall see. Every time there was police out in our area, they catch very few people that don’t comply. I say majority of people are complaining with rules. Even ones that aren’t obvious they usually have a day pass in there coat pocket, can’t assume no permit on windshield that they are free loading.

I put a brand new [120 k.] '09 'doo 800 thru in 75' feet of H2O 75' from shore in -I got out [obviously] insurance paid me completely within a week. They hired divers and had it out in 2 weeks!

Worst part about this accident is that he leaves 2 young kids without a dad.   

I was hoping at the age of 24 this was not in play.....this is really unfortunate for the kids & mother.

So true, can't remember how many "close calls" I had when I was younger... Survival of the fittest, or in my case, the luckiest.

We use to ride grand River from Bridgeport to almost elora. Always open water along the way too. Now I look back on that and it was a pretty stupid move, but back then there was at Least a decent amount of solid ice, which isn’t case today with all warm ups. 

We used to do that from Bellwood and almost make it up to waldemar. Lots of beer and open water involved. All vintage beater sleds.
