Diving Boards: Backyard Bliss or Insurance Nightmare?

Diving boards inherently pose a higher risk of accidents compared to a flat pool entry. Slips, falls, miscalculations during dives, and collisions with other swimmers can all lead to serious injuries. Diving boards naturally encourage more activity and higher jumps, potentially leading to roughhousing and greater chances of accidents. And they are especially attractive to young children who might not have the judgment or skills for safe diving.
