    From my experience --------------- complete failure and collapse.  And watch out for that fat kid down the street. Cannonball!

    Well, you might go to water-waste jail.  To make sure that doesn't happen, you must buy a pony for the kiddies to drink the excess water.  You don't want to be wasting it.

    Depending on the type it could fall over or just have a lot of over splash....if it is on a sandy base it can wash out the sand.

    Doesn't answer your question but this "pool choreography" was cool to me.
    Couldn't paste it -- only copy.

    Overflow or collapse upon pool occupancy.

    If you’ve ever had a deep fryer, you know why there are “max” fill lines to prevent blistering hot oil from being splashed down your legs when you drop in those fries. The principle is the same. This post was edited by Don Barzini at July 4, 2018 3:15 PM MDT

    I have never seen any such thing. Where did you find it? Did it come with instructions?

    Wal-Mart. Of course it came with instructions. I promptly threw them out. Inflating and filling a pool isn't rocket science. I don't want to brag or anything, but I was able to manage that much on my own. Well, actually, my 10-year-old did, but that's beside the point. They just happened to be doing a refill and I told them to stop when it hit the fill line. They asked me why and I couldn't answer them. I'm not really fond of saying "because it says so" or "because I said so." Those are bogus answers. I can't picture the pool collapsing, but we may well overfill it for kicks to see what happens. In the name of science, of course.
