I think many underestimate the strength of good ice.
That's because if you get it wrong you're dead...

8" is probably fine....for a small car. Who drives a small car on the ice? And if you're going to walk a line that fine, what do you suppose is going to happen when you come across a patch of snow and the ice is 6" thick under it.

Since you like graphics, here's one from Alberta. I'll just leave it at that, since this is a thread on Cold Lake not ice safety.
