Is this Ice Safe?

[Fishrmn]

i think the warning about waders is... if you go through the ice the waders can fill up with water and pull you down faster..

Which is a wives tale. They make it hard to get out of the water, but they don't "pull" you down or under. Fill a plastic bag, or bucket full of water next time you're at the lake. It doesn't weigh anything in the water, but try to pick it up out of the water and see how much it weighs. Chest waders full of water would be hard to haul out of the water if you stand up and try to walk. But lay down and let the water run out of them and they aren't so bad.

Having a "dry suit" flood while scuba diving is a great way to practice.
