Interesting that the amount of deaths from people drowning near or at aerators on frozen lakes is exceptionally low but somehow draws huge concern. On the other hand dozens of people drown at open unfrozen waterbodies all the time but little concern and few if any lawsuits or regulations. Why are they targeting aerators and not allowing them. If they wanted to save people from drowning you would think they would ban watercraft, boat docks, diving rafts, beaches, ice fishing shacks etc.. This whole thing about aerators is an absurd insane knee jerk reaction.
The fishing community should go over the heads at ACA and lobby gov't officials to put an end to this ridiculous nonsense.
