Thank God I had a long line from me to the sled or we would of lost everyting including my Jiffy auger.
I now have large screw bolts I use as picks with a line around my neck for safety. I keep my boots untied if I feel the ice isn't that safe. I'll even wear one of those thin comfortable life preservers too.
