There was examples of people going over the weir on the Bow River and drowning. Did they or could they of ended up filing a suit against the City of Calgary? Would this be a similar example?

I guess the difference here is that they have signs like this which may be a higher standard than what Winsport had. Not sure, haven't seen the signs there though.

I think they should just put a 9' concrete wall around the whole river though, just to be sure no one uses the weir improperly without training and equipment and dies.
