the preasure cracks are more scary than dangerous unless you are sitting on top of one like I was on lake st clair. one side heaved up 3 feet and tiped me over on my back right off my bucket.
there are two kinds of cracks. one is when the lake is making ice, the other is when the ice is thawing.
the dangerous one is when the ice is thawing, unless you are racing orv on the big lakes like michigan st clair erie superior.
the smaller lakes just make a high powered rifle sound. when creating ice.
when thawing it makes more like a soop bean and beer feast sound. when you hear that one get off the ice asap. especialy on the bigger lakes or lakes with moving water. they can open up and swallow a man and not leave a trace.
if you are going out with Flagman, you are in good shape, he has a good handle on what is going on.
