Councillor Adam Vaughan, whose ward encompasses all of the wave decks built so far, said "nothing is risk-free" and individuals need to use their own judgement when it comes to using city infrastructure, whether it's the wave decks or playground structures in city parks, all of which he said are built to code.
"The reality is, you put a bike ring on the sidewalk, you can put 10 signs up but somebody might still walk into it," he said, adding he is sympathetic towards Thomas and his injuries. "(But) the city can't sign and make safe every piece of infrastructure, it's just impossible."
The wave decks are the first step in a complete revitalization of Queen's Quay, he said.
"We're pushing the envelope on design here a little bit, but we're pushing the envelope on aesthetics, not on safety."
Vaughn is crazy. This is no way for people to live. Shut down the wave decks before more crazy clubbers...I mean people hurt themselves!
