If you lay the ladder down on the ice then crawl along it, your weight is spread over a larger area and the ice is less likely to break. If someone is holding the ladder, it gives you something to pull yourself out with if it does break.

∙ 11y agoThe ladder spreads the force of their weight over a large area (the ice under the ladder) which gives you a better chance to not break the ice.

The ladder has a bigger surface area than our feet and the pressure on the ice will be lesser.

Why is it safe to crawl than walk over thin ice on a frozen pond?
When you crawl you have at least 4 points of contact with the ice which means your weight is more spread out than walking which has 1-2 points of contact that has a larger chance of breaking the ice. Rule of thumb for Ice is it must be at least 4 inches to be safe.

Ice is less dense than water at the same pressure. That is why ice cubes and icebergs float on the water.

Why does lying on a ladder help you to reach someone trapped in thin ice?
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.

Are combination based locks safer than key locks on a briefcase?
I think combination locks are safer since key locks are easy to break into with a knife or a ice prick to unlock the key lock.
What is wanted friction?
This presumably refers to friction which we find useful. For instance, if you stand on a ladder which is leaning against a wall, it is friction which stops the ladder from slipping. When you walk, friction between your shoes and the ground enables you to push yourself forwards. If the friction is not big enough, you just slip, as on ice.
What melts ice faster salt rock salt or salt water?
Rock salt because it is a larger, coarser salt than table salt. It is also safer than salt water because it will provide a surface to walk on. Salt water still has the ability to freeze, so it is not a good de-icer.
What do you call ice that you walk on?

If you suspect the ice may be thin the ladder will distribute your weight across a larger surface.
