Recovery of Side By Side ATV that fell through thin ice. Ann Lake, MN

With everyone Social Distancing and now many locations issuing Shelter In Place, some in the northern states might be tempted to get in one last day of Ice Fishing. Here is a warning, please don't because it may cost you your life or your very expensive out door equipment along with the cost of thousands of dollars to recovery your vehicle if it falls through the thin ice.
Footage shot during the mid afternoon 3/25 on Ann Lake in Ann Lake Township, MN of the staff of Andy's Towing out of Saint Cloud, MN recovering a Polaris Side By Side ATV.
According to the crew recovering the ATV, a Grandfather and two Grand Children where out Ice Fishing and drove into an area of thin ice. All three where able to make it out of the ATV unharmed and make it to shore for help on 3/24/2020.
The ATV fell into about 14 feet deep water in near zero visibility due to a current from a nearby river that feeds the lake.

Wondering if you use bar oil in the chain saw? For cutting ice. St.Paul,Minnesota.
