The problem here is the litigious society we live in. We are constantly reminded on TV by ambulance chasing lawyers that "if you are injured, you have a right to compensation" educating would be clients as well as potential jurors.
Jumping off a roof into the water is not one of the brighter things to do, even if it is tradition, everyone knows that (or should). The problem is when one of these people trips or misjudges and ends up on the dock with a broken neck or worse, the town or owner ends up getting sued. You know, it's all good fun until someone loses an eye. I'm surprised this hasn't been stopped before.
