As others have stated, do not drive your car on the ice untill you see others doing it, lol.
Second do not drive you car onto the ice without 4x4. You can get stuck VERY easy on the ice, I have pulled my share of stuck cars and 2wd trucks off ice over the last couple of years.

If you are on a sled and hit open water as long as you keep it full open you will be fine till you hit ice again.
When ever we cross a lake or something on the sleds we are full open, early in the season the middle 1/3 of the lake is still water. Feels weird the first time you throttle over water on a sled.
I have seen guys cross lakes in the summer on their sleds.
10cm is about how think the ice needs to be for us to go on with the ATV's, but we still go full open jsut because sometimes you hit parts that arent frozen as much and the ice breaks behind you. This is mostly on creeks and rivers though with the ATV's
