Let's go for a swim!

2006 Reader Submission
Pending Acceptance

It's always amusing to hear of the things that someone who pays thousands of dollars to go to a state college decides are worthwhile pasttimes. Last year, Kevin decided he would go to a local frat party, despite the fact that he was not on the guest list and had no official or unofficial invite. I should also meantion that Kevin was rather drunk (not a surprise for an underage college student). The fraternity had built a temporary swimming pool for it's annual party, and Kevin dove in. Problem is, the pool was only 2 feet deep and Kevin landed right on his head. When he didn't surface, witnesses jumped in and pulled him out. While he didn't die, he did manage to paralyze himself permanently.

Neutral: Personal Account
It seems like an impulsive act of stupidity, and since it is a personal account, I see no reason it shouldn't be included. Thanks, Amy.

Different guy, different year, same sort of story.

Maybe Toss: Too Common
As Sheryl says. But thanks for sending this to us.

Maybe Toss: Personal Account
Can't be more than a PA, Jorge - no references at all. I'm inclined to Maybe Toss this one, because the guy was really drunk and pretty young in combination. High (and too many) spirits and bad luck, in my opinion. Thanks anyway for the story, Amy.
