How about falling off and hitting your head on the ice at god knows what speed?

I think that the biggest problem might be getting a chunk of ice through the intake grating and into the impeller. That would definitely cause some damage to the impeller and the pump seal. Hulls get scraped up pretty much anyhow.

The primary concern is falling into the water as hypothermia would be quick to follow.
