I'm spinning this thread off a post that Ryan Freeze just made on the "Pond Amenities" thread. He noted life saving equipment at the pond-side.

Who in their right mind could argue this logic....right? It sure makes sense to me, particularly if you have family and friends in or near the water.
But, what if you don't. I mean, what if you're an absentee pondmeister. If you have life-saving equipment clearly visible and available at the pondside, and an univited guest decides to go swimming in your pond and a deadly catastrophe occurs to them, has the pond owner unwittingly provided an unsigned swimming invitation? Does properly displayed live-saving equipment leave a litigation loophole that might come back to bite the owner in court?
