- pvg 3y agodepends how hard you throw it
- bluGill 3y agoIf you are a human you cannot break significant ice by throwing. Sure you can break 1cm of ice, but so any any other boat. We need ice breakers because there are cases where the ice is probably strong enough to support a the heaviest truck, but it doesn't quite have enough margin of safety on that probably to actually drive a truck so if you want to get through you need to send a boat through water.
- pvg 3y agoyou cannot break significant ice by throwing. Don't skip boat throwing day!
