Solid Evidence that it’s impossible to make something idiot proof. The best you can hope for is to make it idiot resistant. Once you think something is idiot proof, along will come a bigger and better idiot. Sorry, this is not tragic…..

Life Guards and Shark spotters had noticed man eating Great White sharks in the lagoon.  A few days earlier another beach goer had his legs bitten off.   So they closed the beach, for 90 minutes they sounded sirens, they alerted the public, they raised warning flags. 
 
Now, most beach goers not actively vying for a Darwin Award hear from the lifeguards to stay away, see an empty beach,  a waving white flag with a shark on it which proclaims  “There’s a great white shark in the water! Maybe three!” and decide to go have a beer somewhere on dry land.  Not this guy.  

Yep, He Got His Legs Bitten Off …..

Cape Town officials told the South African Press Association that, when the man entered the water, the beach was still closed. A shark flag, indicating the presence of a great white, was flying. ”  Empty beach. Known great white hang out spot. 90 minute warning. Sirens sounded. Flags raised. Yes, definitely a fantastic time to take a dip, 50 yards out no less.

Take note of the signs.
