Please see the May 24
Daily Barometer student paper of Oregon State U. A 20-year-old (i.e., underage) young man dived headfirst into a makeshift pool with about 17 inches of water in it. He's in critical condition -- fractured vertrebra and possibly spinal cord injury. There allegedly was drinking involved. The "pool" reportedly was for a party.

You can get other reports by going to Google News and typing in something like
oregon fraternity critical
or something along that line.
When I saw the news this morning, I thought pretty much what g41965 mentioned: there's the potential for a lawsuit here. Of course, right now I'm just hoping for the best possible medical outcome for the young man.
Edited to add the address for another story from station KATU:

Also edited to remove the implication that the injured man was a member of the fraternity.
