[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I sincerely doubt that anyone is gleeful about this. Or shoving this in the faces of the parents.

But maybe you'll reassess your own risk management. If you see a sign that says "No Swimming" you'll ask about its scope. You won't try to outsmart the sign-maker. "I wasn't swimming!  I was wading!!!! I was toe-dangling!  I wasn't swimming!"

Maybe when you visit someplace you will see unfamiliar situations differently. Rather than assuming that an area is safe (I have heard of no sign saying "Disney is a gator-free zone"), you'll ask to gain a bit better understanding of what hidden risks there might be. Maybe. [/quote]

Um, did you see the post right before your post about luggage fees? Or the Dave Barry post pages back?

Yes, there are dcum posters taking glee in this child's death and the parents unimagineable pain.[/quote]

I did. And I will posit that those posters are not "people" as that term is commonly used.

I do also think, though, the the people who are screaming about signage need to step back. The world is inherently dangerous and no one will apprise you of every risk. This is just life. And there are more risks when you leave your zone of familiarity. Ultimately, it is your job to keep you safe. To do some basic legwork. You cannot depend upon someone else's risk assessment and sign diction to keep you safe. If you think you've outsmarted the sign, you will eventually outsmart yourself. [/quote]
