I was at a family picnic a few weeks ago and encountered this H2O Go! bouncy ball.
The Merriam-Webster dictionary includes as part of its definition of ‘Supervision’, the following:
‘the action, process, or occupation of supervising especially : a critical watching and directing (as of activities or a course of action)’,
I particularly enjoy the subtlety in the legal language that reads, ‘Use only under COMPETENT’ supervision.’ Because it is not enough to only indicate critical watching and directing. One must be clear that the critical watching and directing be done competently!
More balls need good lawyers like those who crafted this boilerplate language and insisted it be written in 32 point font.
Honestly, if these balls are to be really safe they really should issue certificates of competency in inflatable ball supervision or else countless children are likely to be killed as a result of carefree ball bouncing.
