Even if there was no aeration in that pond the ice is only an inch thick(or so) making it unsafe. Kids have to be watched at all times when they are around ponds. Up here in Canada we only have 2 weeks of unsafe ice spring/fall with Aeration in our ponds it makes unsafe areas all winter. Some of you guys deal with unsafe ice all winter even without aeration. Aeration is a safety hazard but so is ice. Train and watch the kids!!!!
