In the April, 2011 Cow Island fatal, was it in the water or on the ice or transitioning from the water to the ice......wonder what went wrong? Wearing a pfd, and maybe even wearing a dry suit could have made a differance?

Here is the original thread, which you were part of:

The reports state that he fell out of the craft while trying to start it after a stall (the pull cord broke and sent him back over the side). He capsized it trying to climb back in. It sounds like it was overloaded to begin with.
Hovercrafts of this size are fine for basic back and forth transportation with no cargo, the one in question was not rated to hold much more than the occupant.
