I've been frustrated with the safety of the dumbest for a long time. It's a losing policy. The safer we make stuff the safer it's view and the dumber the users. I'm not saying a lot of people have to die but then I'm not sympathetic to people killing themselves. I'd vote to put in the buoys as well.

My best defense is, people drive 80 mph because they believe others made the car safe. I've had people argue they don't speed because the car is safe. So I challenge them. I'll put a 7 inch steel spike on the steering wheel and you get out in traffic and drive 80. If you don't feel safe doing that, then you're relying on the car to save you. That others were responsible for your well being regardless of your abuses. That is, your speeding because you believe others made it safe for you to speed.

Scuba, if made to appear that others have made it safe is the same fallacy. The safer we make it look the less people with assume the risk themselves.
