Wholly agree with you Jody. It would be so easy to make a weir like that much safer but there's never enough pressure to convince officials to do anything about them. Perhaps it's about time we got together on trying to have weirs improved for safety purposes while still fulfilling their use. It would benefit all river users and members of the public who are (to the best of my knowledge) the more common victims of dangerous weirs.
My heart goes out to everyone who will have to take the time to overcome the massive anguish this tragedy will have caused them.
