Last year at Stanford, the Business School Kids Club (the org for families with kids) attempted to do an outdoor "water" event featuring water balloons, squirt guns, and sprinklers that kids could play with. Part of the event was to have open 5 gallon containers of water so the kids could refill their squirt guns. The whole event was killed by the administration because the open water containers posed a "drowning hazard." As a number of commentators have mentioned, this was driven by the school's insurance policy. A few weeks later, they hosted a professional birds of prey experinece - including faclons, eagles, etc for the kids to engage with. The Admin again banned it - but the organizers put it on anyway.
