Very
serious injuries can result from improper use of diving boards or installation
of diving boards on pools not designed for them. An owner should consider liability exposure before installing a
diving board.
The
end of a slide should be no more than 20" above the water, and there
should be open water in front of the slide for a distance at least equal to
twice the height of the slide.
Diving
boards and slides should be securely anchored to the pool deck. They should also be oriented so that users
do not run into one another or the sides of the pool.
