It's really hard to design products by focus groups. A lot of times, people don't know what they want until you show it to them.

Boersema, Theo and Zwaga, Harm J. G. (1989): Selecting Comprehensible Warning Symbols for Swimming Pool Slides. In: Proceedings of the Human Factors Society 33rd Annual Meeting 1989. pp. 994-998.

To reduce the hazardous behavior of swimming pool slide users, five warning messages were identified. For each warning nine symbols were developed. The comprehensibility of the symbols was tested using an evaluation procedure based to a large extent on the ISO testing procedure to determine the comprehensibility of public information symbols. Respondents were 202 swimming pool users between 7 and 19 years of age. Seven acceptable symbols were found referring to four of the five warnings.
