Yeah. As someone with some experience in building interactive elements in public spaces it’s absolutely the designer’s responsibility to anticipate how people will reasonably be expected to interact with the place, and you can’t just add a sign saying “please don’t use this space in the way that it looks like it’s supposed to he used” and somehow absolve yourself of any responsibility. It would be one thing if this was meant to be a static art piece displayed behind a velvet rope, but this was meant to be played with! If you don’t want people on a diving board then don’t give them a diving board!
