Must
of us have seen or read something about the figure commonly
known as fire triangle (oxygen, heat and fuel), which
is a work model to illustrate and help to comprehend
one of the ingredients necessary for most of the fires.
There is another strange triangle that contributes with
most of the electrocutions associated with the swimming

is the water pool. It is not just water, it is chemically
treated water. The second phase is the electricity,
and the third side of this triangle is the people pool.
Normally, when this three components mix, the results
are not favorable, in particular, to this third leg,
the people. |
