The most important safety tip is to never go out on a frozen pond alone.  If anything goes wrong it is very important to have someone else available to help.  Life jackets can save lives when swimming during summer months and can do the same to keep someone afloat if the ice breaks and he or she falls into the water.  Wear a life jacket over winter clothing whenever planning on being out on the ice.  Maybe the most obvious, but also impertinent safety tip is to test the thickness of the ice every 10 feet each time anyone goes out onto the ice.  Of course the surest winter pond safety tip is to just stay off the ice all together, but we know people want to enjoy the ice year round so we have supplied these simple tips that could help save a life.
