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.

How can you determine if ice is safe to walk on?

To determine if ice is safe to walk on, check its thickness. Safe ice for walking should be at least 4 inches thick. Use an ice auger or drill to measure the thickness in different spots. Clear, solid ice is safer than cloudy or slushy ice. Always consider the temperature and recent weather conditions when assessing ice safety.
