As I have said before, the world is just getting more barmy than us crumby biscuiteers could imagine in a month of Tuesdays.

To be fair, did they know it was 3ft deep?

No-one else seemed to want to jump in either.

I'm reckoning that if it was a model boating lake they might have been confused by the 'scale' issue. They may heva thought the depth was 3ft is scaled up by 1/72 (sorry, failed my maths O level and can't do complex operationms with the calculator)

A story quoted a landmark case where a man jumped in the sea to save his dog; he got into difficulties and a policeman jumped in after him, and another to help him. Three people drowned in total, another three policemen nearly drowned jumping in to help their colleagues.

Difficult to have an overarching policy, but that is perhaps the grounds for emergency services not to risk themselves and their colleagues...'the domino effect'
