Let's say you were working as a lifeguard at a swimming pool. Would you also unintentionally pull out your phone after a couple of hours?
If you did and someone drowned in the mean while, there would be no debate about who was liable.
- watwut 6y agoThrough, lifeguards at a swimming pool in are typically not expected to be attentive for hours. They rotate and switch.
