You have got to be kidding me! Where I live a 17 year old just dove into a pool at night and *OOPS* it was not the deep end and now he is paralized for life! He had a football scholarship to college and everything - ruined over a stupid mistake at a party with friends.
No thank you - I'll take the steps into the pool!
This is a big deal here in Spain . The newspapers are reporting it widely . The problem is that the young guys ( almost exclusively men ) are coming back from the clubs in Ibiza , Torremolinos , etc... Drunk as hell and the male bravado kicks in . Crazy . And now we have young men severely injured and some for life . The Spanish authorities are looking at ways to deal with it but itīs hard to see how they can stop it happening .
