This latest story regarding the death of a swimmer at the Island Quarry doesn’t sound like it was due to jumping, however I think the Island Quarry should put up a sign that lists dates and types of accidents that have occurred at this site rather than having a generic sign about the risk of jumping.
Having a new sign like this would personalise what’s happening and would provide an awareness of how regularly accidents happen, rather than providing just a vague notion of risk that the generic sign provides. Perhaps people may actually stop and think first.
