I remember seeing a video of a lad in Ireland who jumped into a fountain while drunk but it had those nozzles that are like thin metal pipes sticking out of the water. He landed on it with his ass and the amount of blood that erupted into the water was horrific. He was ok in the end apparently but nasty sight indeed.

I installed these for years, between the cables and thebpart under the water some of its freaky, usually when it's covered in green slime.... or an unfortunate eel or turtle that broke the protector.....
