Try to go in a group and get the heaviest person to cross first.  If he makes 
it, chances are you might too.  <G>

On a more serious side, they merit care.  While not a snow bridge, I had an 
experience in Boy Scout Canyon, up the front of Whitney.  The canyon was filled 
with snow and I was walking close to a rock wall.  The snow gave way and 
below me, I could see at least 15' down to the ground.  Fortunately I didn't go in.
