The opinion

*428 SLOAN, J.,

dissenting.

Defendant solicits people of all ages and experience to use its pools. Some are acquainted with the peculiar design of the pools, others, like plaintiff, are not. It seems to me that we are not justified in judging plaintiff’s actions from the caution of mature years blessed with a measurable degree of hindsight.

The jury should decide if defendants had given adequate warning to unwary patrons of the hazards inherent in this pool.
