Wait a minute. The State is closing slides because a woman got lost for two days in a murky pool?

Why doesn’t the State address the apparent problem of filthy pools? If the water is that murky, can it be clean at all? Why not put better cleanliness standards in place so that the average 36 year old woman is – gosh – actually VISIBLE at the bottom, so that the guards can just ignore her plight?

This has ZERO to do with slides. Unless of course the slides dump riders into the bottom of the (cess)pool.

It’s kind of like outlawing bungee-jumping because of mud below the ride.

It was either close the slides or ban yellow cars from parking within 500 feet of the pool.

With the lack of parental supervision these days, no state or city pool should have a slide or diving board… we taxpayers end up with the bill.

state pool?! how does one end up in a state public pool and no lifeguard? how does someone miss a woman for 2 days w/o even reporting her missing after 24 hours in most cases? what happen when you close the pool, who walks around the pool to see if there are personal items left? sounds like a major lawsuit of the bathsuit disaster that the state will wind up paying out…
