Some of the comments on the post include...
Mary Diekmann: I can’t believe how many vehicles have gone in the drink in MN this winter. Most were driving over ice heaves.
Mark Antonov: Play stupid games win stupid prizes.
Breanne Larson Ahrndt: If you don’t know any better than to not drive over an ice heave, you shouldn’t be out there. Just sayin’.
David Lehtola: 35 years ago watched some guys with a little pickup jumping the ice ridge on lake Waconia. Must have done it 3 or 4 times before it broke through.
Jerrod John: As a kid, my dad was a good father, and put the fear into me on pressure ridges. Rightfully so. Even on a snow machine, you shouldn't be near 'em. And with a truck? Oofda!
The guy taking the video gives some great advice..."If you see chunky ice in a straight line don't drive over it"!
