Ice flexes, floats on water

The wave preceding the truck can be a problem when coming onshore, IIRC.

I can see the same sort of wave cracking the the ice at given velocities, too... It's not just the strength of the ice, it's the effect of the truck on the water beneath.

Paranoia Is a Survival Trait
Pessimists are never disappointed - but sometimes, if they are very lucky, they can be pleasantly surprised...
Even though everyone is out to get you, it doesn't matter unless you let them win.

Nothing is as simple as it seems in the beginning,
As hopeless as it seems in the middle,
Or as finished as it seems in the end.

Perhaps it has to do with the longitudinal spacing of tires. - (a6l6e6x) - July 10, 2007, 10:41:09 PM EDT

Sheet as a whole bending? - (JayMehaffey) - July 11, 2007, 10:12:33 AM EDT

OK, my theory. - (Andrew Grygus) - (2) - July 11, 2007, 12:36:30 PM EDT

IIRC that was the mechanism found, for initiating fractures - (Ashton) - (1) - July 11, 2007, 09:35:19 PM EDT
