My sympathies to this man's family and friends,it is a tragedy.
It seems owners who have bubblers are getting the blame here. There are
plenty of lifted docks with legs hanging down with square or round bases
attached. I've seen some docks where some of the legs are near the ice surface. Is an owner responible if a snowmobiler hugging the shore and hits one of these causing injury or decapitation. It seems to me if your hugging the shore your asking for trouble. Just like the boat rule, stay 150' away from shore until you want to get off.
