Signs that warn you of danger are always a good thing, right? Well… maybe not always.
Back in 2010, 5-year-old Kolton Karnes drowned at the low-head dam at Danville’s Dan Daniel Park. The dam is a safety hazard and will be removed soon but until that happens, the city has put up lots of warning signs to remind people about the dangers.
Although I’m sure that the city’s artistic design team didn’t mean to make a sign which was a highly realistic representation of a small child being caught in the potentially fatal hydraulics of a low-head dam, they did just that…
Mr. Picard will express my sentiments on this sign.
