RCMP in central Alberta say a snowmobiler was killed after striking a "long intertwined steel cable" while crossing a river over the weekend.

Wonder if it was set up deliberately.

Condolences to the friends and family of the woman. RIP.

Condolences to the family.

But I certainly don't like how this reads:

RCMP would like to speak to anyone who might know who could have installed that steel cable across the river.

That's a high traffic river in the winter. No reason for a cable to be strung across it. There are some washed out corners where fencing once was, that could be the culprit?

Pretty sad deal and pretty horrific if it was placed there to hurt someone.

i dont think so. Global news had more info and they say the RCMP Major crimes unit is working on it so likely not an accident

Was kind of hoping it wasn't some r3tard stringing up a cable to thwart sleds and quads.

Guaranteed it was, a lot of cunty farmers around there fee they own the rivers that run through properties

WOW. That is terrible. I hope they catch whoever strung that up.

RIP to the victim. Prayers and condolences to family and friends.
What a terrible thing to do if it was purposely strung to curtail traffic on the ice.

Rest in peace sure hope they find why a cable was across the River makes no sense

RIP, Yes I hope they do as well, was somebody doing that around here years ago to keep atv’s off the power line, ran across a couple stretches of barb wife about 3-3.5 feet high with no posts, not cool

chitty deal… my god if some dumb ass land owner did it. I haven’t seen farm wires / fences on the blind man for years but also lots of new urbanites living rural now so who knows,

Condolences- RIP … very sad.

The article I read mentioned it was a multi strand cable. Doesn't sound like fencing to me.

Very very sad! Condolences to the family and friends. I hope this was not done on purpose.

Me also , but what other reasons would there be to string a line across a creek at that level ?

Read the same, multi strand (cable) almost rules out a farmer.. If there’s been lots of sled traffic up/down that river throughout the winter, then it unfortunately looks to be intentional… So sad either way.
