while I don't have a pool, I have an inground water garden and have thought 
‘damn, that’d suck.’  but after being slid, launched out of my chair, I’m 
willing to go, down w/ the ‘ship’...what a dumbass in italy

I heard this - it's very sad indeed.   I have, and take care of a pool in my 
power chair and I am very careful now after backing one of my six wheels over 
the edge backing up too far.  I never wear a belt tying me in partly because of 
drowning fear AND I have tipped over frontwards coming down my van ramp when 
the door stop yanked my hand off the joystick thus slamming the brakes on while 
I was going front wards downhill...   luckily, my son was there to pick me up 
off the hot driveway in a Phoenix summer.

  I heard a quad died this week from drowning after falling into a pool in his 
chair.
  That would just suck being seat-belted in your chair.
  I know there is a group in AZ that takes quads sailing and they have a rule 
of no seat belts on when near the water.
