Risk Management Considerations for Diving Boards

There's nothing better than launching off a diving board into a clear blue swimming pool on a sweltering Canadian summer day. However, there is risk involved with this activity. Numerous people have taken the exact dive mentioned above and have had things go horribly wrong. Although diving boards are the leading cause of swimming pool related injuries, 95% of them occurred in the absence of supervision, in an area without proper warning signs and in water less than five feet deep. With proper precautions diving boards can be a fun addition to any pool instead of a liability waiting to happen.
