Imminent Catastrophe
OK, I'm just thinking that after the 1 foot deep sign, the NO DIVING part is not necessary.

Which is gross but effective.
This isn't the one I was looking for, but still pretty effective.
There was one on the fork lifts we used at work that showed a hand being pinched in the mast that was really gross.
hmmm...
Well, this one actually isn't unnecessary, but still...
The diving one sorta comes across as "No breaking your neck while diving."
....And that grout needs to be cleaned, btw.
I was actually born in Silverton Colorado......probably in that same building......

At first I thought the diving graphic was a woman with a spikey pony tail. Now I believe it is a visual of the sound of a breaking neck. Which is gross but effective. I will no longer diver head first into a 1-foot pool. These put the "pop tart may be hot when removing from toaster" warnings to shame.
Me too. Thanks to your explanation I am now scared straight.

Ha, we have one of those near us that has had some sort of bug...it doesn't display the 5th letter of any word. I thought they might as well not have it posted at all (since it's not actually alerting to anything all that drastic in terms of traffic flow, anyhow)...or that they should give me the defective sign so that I could have fun with it.
Getting the wind knocked out of you is the only way to
remind your lungs how much they like the taste of air.
