Sad that as much as you try to fortify the area around swimming pools, something will always go wrong. Many times customers in high traffic areas - believe it or not - request pricing for iron fencing because this type of accident is fairly common. It is also a good idea to put large boulders around your pool area to prevent an accident like this. All of these precautions may have saved your swimming pool and a life.
