This is one of the reasons it was outlawed in NH. During the day, people would be skimming the open water. Then, at night, when other snowmobilers are headed home they mistakenly follow the track from the daytime skimmers into open water, panic, let off the throttle and go in.
THEN they often drown because they cannot haul themselves out of the water (no grip on the ice). I recommend ice picks for all that go on water.
