Abstract: An accessory for serving as an aid for saving the life of an "ice" fisherman, snow mobile operator, or other recreation or sports minded person who ventures onto an ice covered lake, pond or other body of water and breaks through the ice--the accessory being grasped, such as from a jacket pocket, an ice piercing device being grasped, one in each hand, and being successively thrust into piercing engagement with the ice surface to provide a temporary anchor to absorb pulling thrust exerted by the person as he gradually pulls himself onto firm ice in a prone position.
