I just went to the local park with my 500mm F4.5 and 1.4x and walked on very lumpy slick ice for several km through the day, every other step was a slip and could've been a fall... boy was that scary but you won't find me dropping a multi-thousand dollar lens, i'd let my body get hurt before the lens got hurt.

Medical bills might not be much less than the lens

I am speaking in fun, I would hand hold one, but like the guy in the second picture I think I would have the strap around my wrist or something.

Also, yak trax are a great investment (or similar) if you don't have any.  Snow chains for your shoes.
