Been through several times, and helped get a friend out once, he hit a spring hole or something right in the middle of our holes where every one had 12 inches good ice, it was scary as my buddy had his kids there could have easily been one of them, funny thing was I was going to do ice water rescue training that night. Having that training has helped me get out the last 2 times I went in, gives a little sense of control to a rather scary experience, and helped keep calm knowing how to get out. I reccomend anyone who plans to spend time on frozen lakes take a course or watch videos on self rescue at least, never know when it will save yours or someone elses life.
