Not sure why though Confused Maybe I should be crying. Seems the safety-nazis are here to stay.

Swimmers at a council-run pool have been barred from doing backstroke at busy times - because it is considered to be too dangerous.
Daisyfield Swimming Pool in Blackburn is understood to be one of the first in the country to introduce such a move.

It is hoped the ruling will prevent any legal action against the council if a swimmer collides with someone.

It follows the publication of new guidelines - suggested by the Institute of Sport and Recreation Management.


Last year, Blackburn with Darwen Council was one of the first to ban picture-taking mobile phones from its baths.

There had been concerns that they could be used by paedophiles to take pictures of semi-naked children.

Steve Rigby, executive director of culture, leisure and sport, at Blackburn with Darwen Borough Council, said: "Lane swimming at Daisyfield Pool is proving very popular.

"This has resulted in us requesting that people do not swim back-stroke during these busy sessions, in order to avoid any dangerous collisions.

"We encourage those who wish to swim backstroke to visit at quieter times of the day."

Last year, a water polo team was banned from practising at the venue because of the fear that stray balls were a danger to the players.

I think the pool should be emptied to minimise the risk of drowning.

It also shouldn't have steep edges. It should be a smooth bowl like pool otherwise someone could fall and hurt themselves.

And we should do away with diving boards, I mean, that's just plain dangerous.

We should also make everyone wear armbands incase of an accident so they don't sink.

Left alive we are all a danger to ourselves Confused I believe that we should all be culled in the name of Health & Safety and a sign left to anyone that ever visits Earth in the future that we did it to save us from ourselves. We'd be a shining example to the rest of the universe I'm sure....

Shocked

Remember kids, bikes aren't like lego. You can't easily take a part from one bike and then fit it to another.

All crimes are committed by the living, therefore living should be a crime punishable by death.

All the best

That is just plain f**king ridiculous. Haven't these 'investigators' got anything better to do with their time? It is a messed up world that we live in. Rolling Eyes
