This is certainly a tragedy. The most unfortunate past is that it was preventable. I hope others learn from this poor man's mistakes. I have a snowmobile rule that is quite simple. I don't go alone. Period. If this simple rule had been followed than this accident would have been avoided. Codeman hit it spot on when he wrote we each are responsible for our own choices. It makes my blood boil when someone suggests that the landowner might somehow be responsible when someone gets killed on the lake in a snow storm. I truly am sorry for this man's family.
