Welcome to our forum.
This explains my kids' brain damage. Seriously, those are serious claims.Sources please.
A good read for parents who worry about there kids. Not pointing fingers Venissa!! http://www.w-uh.com/articles/030709-people_over_30.html
Children's bodies are more sensitive to extreme temperatures than adults, and therefore have a different reaction when exposed to high temperatures. Small children should not be in a hot tub to begin with, but if they are for some reason, they are at risk of damaging their brain and other parts of their body. When a child's head is immersed underwater, the heat that is absorbed can greatly damage the brain. Because children are already susceptible to risk in a hot tub, it will not take long for injury to occur. A good rule of thumb is to keep small children out of a hot tub altogether. Older children can use a hot tub but only for short periods of time -10 minutes maximum - and should never completely immerse their head underwater.
Hey Venissa,Welcome to the forum!For clarification, what is considered "extreme temperatures" as written in your post? Are you suggesting anything higher than the normal body temp?I agree that children are more susceptible to heat and I agree that no one should immerse their head under water in a hot tub but the rest was generally alarmist.I want to give you a scenario and get your opinion.Your 7 year old goes upstairs for a bath... She's been there for 10 minutes and playing around and dunking her head under water... The water temp is 100 degrees. You frantically run upstairs realizing she's sitting in HOT WATER and yank her out and IMMEDIATELY call an ambulance due to the possible brain damage she has suffered.Would that be accurate in your home?
ok everybody I give :-/
again.........I give...........for now anyway
How about letting your kids get in this hot tub?1. Kids go out the door across the cover, and off the deck!2. PLEASE remember which side of the tub you got in on !How does stuff like this get approved?
Ok, if this was a "Term Post" I would call BS. He is very skilled at using that photoshop program. But it sure looks real.Speaking as an attorney, I have to say that is one of the most exciting hot tub set-ups I have ever seen. Kudos to the designer and to the owner that paid for it. And be sure to check that homeowner's policy, cause baby, your gonna need it!
