The Rec Center I occasionally swim at has starting blocks. I am aware that is a swim device that I am supposed to use once in awhile. The pool is very deep and used for daily swim team practice and some meets. Yet, there is always a bright yellow cone placed on the blocks during lap swimming hours. No one may use the starting blocks at this time. I find it irritating. No one could possibly get hurt unless they were especially idiotic. I guess they're worried about lawsuits. I saw someone doing backstroke starts once, but who wants to do those? This practice will discourage me from ever entering a non-OW event.
If they do, the case will usually end early. When a case ends before trial, there is, by definition, less cost and time involved.
Wrong. Only legal fees MAY be less. There are many costs to a lawsuit/claim. Legal fees are but a part of them, albeit a large cost. With all those effective waivers out there we sure have seen reduced legal fees, fewer lawsuits, right?
