Man dies after hitting an ice hut with his sled at night... REALLY
this tells me a couple things.
1st. If you have a hut on the ice i think it would be great to have some reflective tape on it and I mean enough to have your hut seen. I have been on the ice with some guys and we dont come in till dark and we dont sepee or anything but have come close to hitting huts as they are not all visible till you get to close. So more reflection would be good.
2nd.. If you are going to be on the ice after dark weather on a sled quad car or anything at all be smart drive safe look for huts be careful it is not to hard to lose a life or just a limb. Be careful thats all you have to do
My thoughts and prayers go out to the family who have lost this member of their family

I built my first hut this year and put eye level reflectors on all sides. I was surprised when i got out there that not many huts do. I never noticed before.

I'm retarded. That story I linked was from 2009. Was this recent?

the basic lesson in this is dont over shoot your lites. be it on a sled or in a vehicle of any sort. ice hut owners should put reflectors on their huts .it so simple . common sence!!
