3 drownings a week over relatively warm months is not a shocking number in a state of 6 million. In Europe about one drowning a week per 3 million people would be typical throughout the year, but almost all of these happen between mid-May and late August, so it is more like 1 per 1 million a week in the warm months.
The good thing about European socialism is that one can’t just go out and sue the government frivolously, if one gets hurt/dies by their own negligence and stupidity.
Also, here in the US, if I as a lakeside property owner give explicit consent that you can swim from my property, I do open myself up to all kinds of liabilities.
This also would be considered frivolous in socialist countries.
On the topic:
Break the stupid rule and swim at night.
I sometimes do that. It’s really special.
