The Lake Geneva Winter Fest looks like it might be an interesting place to have fun during the winter season. However, watching cars sink through the ice makes you wonder about a few things. Sure, it’s a challenge, but if a car falls through the ice there’s a disaster waiting to happen on the other side of all the so-called fun and anticipation. Those are not the kind of odds that most people want to tempt. It’s not hard to understand that some people brave the ice for a living—Ice Road Truckers. No one can argue that these people are a whole different breed.
It’s all about perfect timing. The challenge at Lake Geneva is to let the ice melt just enough so that it’s anyone’s guess if a vehicle will make it across the lake. It’s crazy, but you have to give props to anyone brave enough to make the run. Not to sound the “doom” alarm, but sooner or later someone’s luck will run out.
