It fills with (hot) water up to the neck, which feels like a huge risk for unattended disabled people

> unattended disabled people
What a condescending and all around horrible way to refer to a whole group of people with a plethora of diverse physical limitations. Reading sentences fragments like this as a disabled person basically ruins my day. Thanks for letting me know that I will never be a part of this world.

You’re right, and I’m sorry for not being more specific. I was thinking of people who have trouble washing themselves, since that’s what GP was talking about.
I’ll be more mindful of the diversity of disabilities in the future.
