fieldarchy Posted December 3, 2007 Share Posted December 3, 2007 wow Where would you get that idea in the first place? What the heck was the tarp for? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kristof65 Posted December 3, 2007 Author Share Posted December 3, 2007 CuCulain - I read that - still, drunkeness doesn't excuse stupidity in my mind. Meg - I'm pretty sure it was the standard pool cover they use to avoid loss of heat, and help keep people out of the pool when it's closed. It was 3am in the morning.

Dilvish the Deliverer Posted December 4, 2007 Share Posted December 4, 2007 Not good. Although last night I had to deal with a guy that took three swings at a Darwin award. He struck out, but by the time all was said and done he's lucky that I didn't finish him off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Qwyksilver Posted December 4, 2007 Share Posted December 4, 2007 yeah but they said the stunt was swimming under it. so why not just remove it? They are easy enough to remove and put back on . . . Another reason would be that it's a major pain to remove a pool cover from an Olympic sized swimming pool.. Covers that big are often on mechanical spools, so they likely did not have access to the control box to retract it. Besides, swimming under water, without risk, is boring. These were stupid, likely drunk, idiots looking for a thrill. Now there is one less idiot. Tragic? Yes. Avoidable? 100% Will the owners of the pool be sued. Almost guaranteed. Despite the place likely be locked. It's one of those annoying little liability things that makes most pool owners nervous as all hell.
