What that doesn't tell you . is that many of the locals that knew what they were doing rode East along the crack and made it back to Crane Creek with no problems . The large part of the people that were rescued that day were on foot or out of towners . That also was late ice where there were a few very warm days followed by big S/SW winds upwards of 35 + mph that day it happened .Also the gentleman that passed away , did so from a heart attack he had before the ice even moved.
