There have a been a couple of articles in the local paper about a fatal accident that occurred on a local lake here. In a nutshell, a ski mobiler driving across the ice struck and killed a cross country skier. Apparently, the snowmobile didn't have a headlight on and the skier had no illumination. Both were enjoying a trip through the dark. I can't help but think that the skier could have saved himself with a small LED light (even a photon) that made him visible. <img src="images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" /> In the same week there was a snomobile vs. snowmobile accident on the same lake that also happened after dark. I'm not sure what the deal is with driving fast with no lights but a small lamp would be a good idea for those people too.
