"Do you know anyone who got hit by a car crossing the street? Does that mean you shouldn't EVER cross a street again?"
You have a far better chance of seeing a car coming than seeing electricity.
"I won't advocate swimming in my marina's waters, but b/c they are disgustingly stagnant. There were probably a dozen people swimming off the docks in Atlantic City back in July - third year in a row. Men, women and children. No one said or thought anything about it."
After being made aware of the potential risk, would you still jump into your marina's waters if they cleaned up the stagnant water situation?
As it is with most things in life, it all comes down to the choices that we make. In this particular case I choose not to take that chance of jumping into any marina waters simply because I cannot see electrical current in the water. There was a time in my life when I too was not aware of "ESD" just the same as the people that you referred to in Atlantic City. I am not pushing people to agree with my point of view on this topic, but If they were made aware of the risks and still chose to swim off the marina docks, then I can only say they value human life far less than I do. Each to their own.
