# Safety considerations for skating on melting ice lakes
Skating on a lake where the ice is gradually melting is a significant safety risk, and it is generally not recommended to try it. However, if you must be active in this situation, here are some security considerations：
## Safety assessment measures
-Check the thickness of the ice: at least 4 inches (10 cm) of solid ice is required for safe skating.
-Avoid the ice surface during the ice melting period in spring or after warm weather
-Observe the color of the ice surface: transparent blue or black ice is the strongest; gray, white or bubble ice may not be safe
## Necessary safety precautions
-Never skate alone
-Carry safety equipment: ice cones, floating ropes, personal floating equipment
- Wear suitable warm and waterproof clothing
-Inform others of your location and estimated return time
## The safest choice
If you want to experience skating, the safest option is to use a formal indoor or regulated outdoor skating venue, completely avoiding natural ice that may melt.
Safety is always the primary consideration. No skating experience is worth risking your life.
