By your logic, literally everything should be significantly altered to ensure a 4 year old can't get hurt. Speaking of pools, better make sure no recreational pools over 1 foot deep exist in our country. After all, the kid could drown in it. Too bad you can't use the "their parents should be preventing that" argument being that you just debunked it saying it wouldn't be their fault this happened. The list can really go on and on. Stupid parenting and an idiot of a kid can cause extreme situations to occur. Significant costs do NOT need to be incurred to prevent these incidents, because the reality is, they (the business) are already doing a well enough job to prevent it in all but an extremely rare occasion. I really suggest you read a book called 'The Giver'. They try to create a Utopia by essentially taking all pain away from people, but it isn't nearly as great as it is made out to be. When we continue saying businesses are blamed for essentially everything, and that we need more and more and more safety precautions, we really do encourage stupidity, because you'll never be at fault for it.

Pools have lifeguards on duty. Not only that, but you go to a pool to get into the water. You don't go into the zoo to fall into enclosures, the zoo is supposed to protect you from the animals :)
The zoo will improve their safeguards and the little kid is ok. It's all good.

And lifeguards are supposed to protect you from drowning, but do they in EVERY circumstance? No. Shit happens on occasion.
