I've done what you have pictured there with the kid at the edge of the ice. Safe if you know what you are doing. Hammered the walleye with such a tactic.
I've had Utah folk freak out when I drive out on the ice with an ATV. Some have even stopped to ask me if what I thought I was doing was safe. I asked them how much ice there was......They said over 18 inches of ice. I laughed and drove off. I'd drive a truck on 18 inches.
It is easy to watch a video and ok, just don't freak out or panic. I'd love to see that when someone goes in unexpectedly.
Fact of the matter is, if you're smart you won't go in.
