especially if someone is mislead into thinking that a swim
platform is position of choice to recover someone from the water in all
but
the most benign conditions.


Benign conditions, especially in very cold water, have led to deaths.
So we can agree than in certain conditions a swim platform MIGHT come
in handy...which is all I ever said.
Still, I know someone who would have died without one.
