If you laid the ladder flat on the ice and wanked on the ladder rather than the ice, then your weight would be spread over a much larger area than that of just your feet. It would then be less likely that you would break the ice yourself.

Laying the ladder flat and then crawling on all fours along the ladder will spread your weight out and help prevent you going through the ice.
