A few friends went skating on the frozen lake in their hometown. At one point you can hear the ice cracking. What advice can you give them so that the ice does not break and the skaters on the lake are not endangered?

Answer: i'll tell them to be careful. However, the most common is using a drill bit. Take a step close to the shore and listen for cracking. If there is cracking, do not risk going out on the ice. If there is no cracking, take a cordless drill and check the thickness using an extended drill bit.
