I think these could be a big deal. A sled goes down, water becomes poluted, but hang on there isn't their some type of grease or lubricant capable of being washed off the undercarriage of a snowmobile and polluting the pristine waters of the lake. For some reason I think the Marine Patrol sees this that the individual should be arrested for pollution for a starter, and for putting rescuers lives at stake. You want to commit suicide, don't do it in the lake.
