It's very rare that life guards are adults probably because most pools are seasonal and they don't pay very well or carry benefits- so what you have are a bunch of high schoolers working their summer jobs with a few planning on keeping them past the end of August. Coupled with the fact that the adult that are in this field are more like large teenagers anyway and it's a smorgasbourg of stupid decisions. <BR/>(the awesome title was referencing the judges decision- to the point and relevant to the infraction)Terrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10518520509442567590noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11333690.post-1125667907349655222005-09-02T06:31:00.000-07:002005-09-02T06:31:00.000-07:00Hmmm...I'm not sure that "The Most Awesome Thing T...Hmmm...I'm not sure that "The Most Awesome Thing This Week" is an appropriate title for this post, but I understand your meaning.<BR/><BR/>Why was a legal child put in a position to be able to close the area?

It is the guards job to turn off the water supply to the rides and make sure the pool is clear of patrons.<BR/><BR/>And there is no way it's the boys fault he was forced to go down the ladder and fell. Plus I think one of the biggest horrors is that he was lying there for 15 minutes and had to drag himself to the door and pound for attention.Terrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10518520509442567590noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11333690.post-1125638588877298692005-09-01T22:23:00.000-07:002005-09-01T22:23:00.000-07:00This was a lifeguard under the age of 18?

Seems to me there ought to be a paid person within this organization that should take the brunt of the responsibility. The boy that fell should be at least part liable for falling. I mean he wasn't in the best of circumstances due to what someone else did but I think that individuals need to take more responsibility on themselves for personal injury. He is the one that fell.<BR/><BR/>I don't think young people should be allowed to drive till their 18 anyway. At least not without a parent.Dave M.https://www.blogger.com/profile/00777130159879692920noreply@blogger.com
