In reply to Matt." target="_blank" title="/2018/11/ohio-state-drains-mirror-lake-in-effort-to-prevent-jump/comment-page-1/#comment-107447">Matt.">/2018/11/ohio-state-drains-mirror-lake-in-effort-to-prevent-jump/comment-page-1/#comment-107447">Matt. "Less dangerous than driving to work in the morning..." Not sure how long ago you graduated and/or how long you lived in Columbus, but people here aren't very good drivers. This is especially true the closer you are to the OSU main campus. "...annually a handful of broken bones..." Even ONE broken bone is too much, don't you think? Same with even ONE sprain. And the water in Mirror Lake is filthy. Combine potentially infectious water with tens of thousands of drunk young adults in a VERY confined body of water, and getting accidentally injured and/or ill is inevitable.
