He seemed to slow down when he approached the frozen pressure ridge, lucky to be alive.

I've been through myself twice, and even though I knew it was coming, I still jumped.
I literally get nervous when I see scenes like this....wow
Thanks for sharing, Steve

Why in a season like this, pressure cracks everywhere, people going through everywhere take a chance with a truck???

yes...when you watch the video.....you hear them saying things that are just to obvious. Maybe trying to get rid of a truck through insurance and getting famous all at the same time...or not?

Way more money in an insurance claim than in teaching cultural activities to kids, that's for sure

She was concerned about her laundry..... yep. About says it all. I was asked in a pm... here in Manitoba, our insurance will cover a truck going down, provided it's not fraud, or your on an actual ice road connecting remote communities and the road has been closed by the highway dept as unsafe. They will cover the recovery. However, they will not pay out the insurance claim until the vehicle is recovered.
