| Turbine-thrown ice can travel long distances |
THE chances of being struck by a slab of ice thrown from a rotating wind turbine are probably remote.
Even so, it is best walkers and cyclists who make the trip along the Tetney Trail from Cleethorpes to Tetney Lock are mindful of the risk.
The route passes along the edge of a windfarm, with the nearest turbine only a few metres away
In sub-zero wintry conditions, snow or ice deposits can form on turbine blades, thence to be thrown off as temperatures climb.
The ice can travel several hundred metres.
A couple of signs alert passers-by to the threat.
