DO NOT drain your pool yourself. It can pop out of the ground and you are screwed. Professionals will come and drill holes in the bottom to relieve hydrostatic pressure.

troglodyte? lol. ok old man. gradually pumping out a gunite pool gives the pore water pressure plenty of time to relieve itself. There are Extenuating circumstances where you need to take precaution but you are acting like thats the norm, and it isnt.
