Years ago a University Professor was banned from using the McMaster University, Hamilton Ont. pool because he would go underwater and ogle the females at the pool.
He would put his goggles on and stare at all the chicks underwater.
Wait, that's a bad thing??! Kidding... :P
I'm actually from Hamilton originally, hadn't heard that story from family who graduated from there.
As for the goggles, I'd have asked him to get a new set if I were owner/employee of the facility. Do you really want to run the risk that they'll shatter on the odd chance, and then you have to drain the pool to locate the glass, and refill, etc... Easily avoided by asking him to change to a newer mask.
I don't think they should have banned him unless he was being a dink about it.
So was he banned or just told he couldn't wear the mask? I have to think there's more to this story than just kicking the guy out for wearing this mask. The guy is probably a jerk and they were just looking for a convenient excuse to boot him.
No glass in the pool. I played underwater hockey for a couple of years and you did not get in the water unless your gear passed inspection. It had to be a mask, water polo cap, and a snorkle with a large mouth guard and not just goggles. The leaded puck could do some damage when you caught it in the face.
If it's not shatterproof, that's a good reason to tell him he can't use it, right?
That would do it for me. I don't know why anyone would wear non-shatterproof goggles anyway.
If that mask shattered in the pool, he could cut his eye or the fragments could cut someone else. If I was the pool manager, I'd tell him to take them off. I wouldn't want someone to get hurt just because he wanted to wear his old mask.

How do they know the glass is not shatter-proof? Did they have a previous incident with that exact mask? Did they drop them away from the deck and the eyepiece shattered into millions of pieces?
I would find it odd that this guy bought a diving mask that is made of easily shatterable glass. If you're going diving, you need material that is shatter-proof, right? I would sue the mask manufacturer if I had a diving mask that shattered at a swimming pool.
There's much more to this story, as was said before. Obviously, the reporter is not a swimmer, or he would have known that it's very rare to own a pair of goggles or a dive mask that is not shatter-proof.
