TAYLOR, C.J.,
with whom WINCHESTER, J. joins,
dissenting:
I dissent. The trial court and the Court of Civil Appeals were correct and I would affirm their decisions. This case was properly ended by summary judgment. An intoxicated young woman decided to dive head first into a shallow swimming pool. A few feet from her dive was a marker clearly indicating the water was only three (8) feet deep. She admits that was a dangerous act on her part. The danger of diving into water of unknown depth is open and obvious. The combination of being under the influence of alcohol and diving head first into very shallow water will usually result in unfortunate serious injury. However unfortunate, this injury is not the legal responsibility of the apartment complex.
