SeaWorld Orlando removes emergency lift floors in whale pools

After the death of trainer Dawn Brancheau in 2010, SeaWorld Orlando installed fast-rising floors in their killer whale pools, designed to quickly lift a trainer out of the water in case of emergency. They have now announced that they will be removing these floors from the pools because trainers are no longer allowed to be in the pools with the whales. كيفية لعب البوكر للمبتدئين

By removing the floors, the whales will have more room in their pools, plus it will save time and money on maintenance and cleaning. تعلم كيف تلعب الروليت

A statement on SeaWorld’s blog said, “Having safely and successfully conducted in-water desensitization training in the shallower medical pool for almost 4 years, the deep-water pool lifting floors are no longer needed. كيف تربح في البوكر

Trainers do still get into the water with the whales in medical pools; those pools will keep their slow-lift floors in place.

SeaWorld did not disclose a cost for the floors or if there were any problems with them.
