Same here. No enclosure here either. Accidents will happen. Period. You can climb a tree and break your neck from a fall. I had a major bicycle accident going down this huge hill as a kid. Ran right into a parked car...ouch. Trust me, we have enough daredevils in here to know they will try to do about anything. Whether you have the equipment or not. My boys didn't have bow & arrows but found a way to make them from the sticks & limbs in the woods. Out of poison oak. Oh yeh, lesson learned. LOL. Point I'm trying to make is you can't safety net an entire childhood. You can make anything dangerous. And if you don't believe me, give a stuffed animal to one of my kids & I'm sure they'll find some way to make it dangerous. Yes, I do think kids should wear bike helmets but I didn't as a kid. Mine wear seatbelts in the car but I didn't always do that as a kid. Many of the do this or you're going to die suggestions nowadays, not many of us did as a kid. We drank out of the creek or the water hose. We jumped on the trampolines w/ no net. We played w/ friends and just had to be home by dark. We've only had one broken bone in this house (not counting surgeries) & it was b/c my son "modified" his rollerskates. We have a pool as well. No issues w/ that either. Even neighbors all know the pool rules. I think if you stress safety to your kids it will be okay. We all fell as kids. We all get back up. I'm sure some of you have battle scars from a kid. My knees tell the stories of what I did as a kid. Even that bike accident. Yet, I wouldn't change it for the world. Loved being a kid & hope my kids have that same experience. Be safe everyone.

There are requirements for pools.

Not for above ground pools, the only county requirement is a building permit - unless that has changed in the last few years...

We're not supposed to drink from the hose anymore?
