There could be a requirement
There could be a requirement that cable and chains across driveways abutting snowmobile paths have No Trespassing signs posted at each end of the cable, and marker balls on the cable as well to prevent this from ever happening gain. That cable must have been attached very well. Prayers for the family of the rider, and the family who owns the property
