ANDERSON, Circuit Judge,
dissenting:
Respectfully, I disagree with two aspects of the opinion for the court. First, in my judgment, the evidence in this case created a question of fact for the jury on the issue of whether the instructions accompanying the pool were negligent and were a concurring proximate cause of the injuries. Second, I do not believe that the open and obvious defense is available as a matter of law on the evidence in this case with respect to the additional danger presented by a pool wall that was only 14 inches to 18 inches above ground on the outside, although was the full 24 inches high on the inside.
