OPINION
Opinion by
Chief Justice MORRISS.
While visiting an outdoor swimming pool, which was owned by East Texas Baptist University (ETBU) and made publicly available for a nominal fee, Michelle Howard allegedly injured her back when the pool’s diving board “double bounced.” She contends the diving board’s fulcrum was improperly positioned, so one side of the board was unsupported and she was “propelled upward in an unstable manner and in an unexpected direction.” Howard alleges that her automatic attempt to correct herself in midair resulted in injuries to her back.
