Hell no. Im not that stupid. That was a guy around Winnipeg. Insurance will cover that, but not accident on a closed highway.

The ford truck there thought he would be safe on 4 inches of ice

Is that one of those winter highways? I think thats what they are called..

Where was that truck picture taken at? I can't imagine anybody driving a big rig on the ice.

They drive the big rigs on the ice highways, the only way to get to some of the towns there is by ice, when it freezes over. scary stuff!

I believe they drive those big rigs over the hudson bay when it freezes over winter. (ever watch Ice Road Truckers on the histroy channel?) Crossing the bay cuts down on days of travel they would have to spend going all the way around.

those guys are nuts for sure... you'd never get me out on the ice with a rig!

Those ice highways that they show on the history channel originate out of Yellowknife, NWT and they head to the north taking supplies to villages and minning facilities that there are no roads to. They follow rivers and lakes. Ice has to get about I think around 3 to 4 feet thick and trucks can only go about 10mph on the ice . They don't cross Hudson Bay

They can go faster then 10 mph, and do. The truckers just have to be careful while entering the ice as to not blow out the other side with preasure.
