It's going to be a season with lots of accidents, and I'll risk saying that we'll be lucky if something really serious doesn't happen. ↗

I want to help others 'think first' before diving into a pool or lake to prevent these types of life-changing accidents. I know I'm in a very fortunate minority and hope my story inspires both adults and children to be more careful. ↗

Never ever tickle anyone, who happens to be ticklish and holding a knife. Foolish accidents not only, may occure, but will occure and you'll regret it for the rest of your life. ↗
