Even if the flow isn't enough (Which by her description of a geyser one would think it would be) it would atleast lift them somewhat and that would give them a much better chance at survival. This is an amazingly stupid move and I hope they get punished for it. More important than that I hope the spring can be restored. I mean I would normally think the reason you'd want to keep people out of springs is so they don't swim down them, but we don't seem to have that problem at barton springs. Sure glad Will Wynn isn't that reactionary. Matt Turner

I would think that children (who should be taught to swim) might stand a better chance of survival if the spring’s flow was strong enough to regurgitate them.
