So, how is it hate or disrespect to suggest that a RAMP is OK.
The powered mechanical lifts are probably dangerous to everybody ~ I'm thinking of that event in the movie "Eating Raoul" where everybody lined up around the inside of the big hot tub fell over like petals on a wilted flower when the electric line fell across them. You get that same effect with a short in an electrical device in water you know.
Then, if that's all you have ~ an electric powered lift ~ how do the handicapped get out of the pool when the power fails? Do they perhaps tread water until the firedepartment arrives?
Frankly, this new rule is not thought out.
The ones I’ve used are not electrical. They are like a lever type hoist. They work really well. Ramps are great. They get you to the edge of a pool, then no further. It is easy to get a person tnto a pool. It is very difficult to lift a grown person out of the water and into their chair. They are very heavy, wet and slippery.
Most pools I’ve been to are ground level and really don’t need ramps.
