Bunk beds are really not a good idea.

[al baby]

Wonder what really happened

[Red Badger]

No reason to disbelieve the story. Probably horsing around.......................

[Red Badger]

We had bunk beds as a kid.

I always took the top bunk as my brother wet the bed.................😜

[Magnum44]

My brother and I had bunk beds growing up. I never rolled out of it. What is wrong with kids these days?

[Not_Who_U_Think]

This happened to me, 11 years old at Scout camp. No injuries but some serious ribbing for months.

[Red Badger]

I did stuff that should have killed me a hundred times.........................

[Red Badger]

Yes, if you are not used to bunk beds upper, you could roll out during the night....................

[Robert DeLong]

Had that other player not been wakened by him falling,

He's lucky it wasn't me, because I have always been a very heavy sleeper.😋

Glad to hear that the surgery was successful, and that the prognosis is positive.

I did stuff that would have ............... put me in jail more than once. But we could get away with youthful indiscretions then...

As a kid, mine had a guard-rail on it, except where you entered with the ladder.

My older brother forced me to switch when I wet the bed.

Problem solved.

I love the Little League World Series. I was watching the regionals this year and saw the scariest, most heart warming thing ever on a baseball diamond.

We had Bunk beds when I was young. Rolled off the top and broke my collar bone, but slept through it. My sister heard me moaning and my parents woke me, called a cab and took me to ER.

I grew up with bunk beds and never had a problem. My sons had them too for a while.

However, the top bunk should always have some kind of railing like pictured below. If these bunks didn't have that, then there is no excuse for that.

That’s exactly what I was going to post!
That movie is great.

[Allegra]

That’s hope for the future right there.

Attended a men’s retreat some years ago at what was a Young Life camp near Asheville, NC. The cabins had three-level bunks and one of the attendees (was in his 60s) fell from the very top bunk, sustained massive head injuries and ultimately died as a result. Was a very tragic accident at what otherwise was a great retreat.

Maybe horsing around, but probably not at 2:30 am when you are there for the Little League World Series. He probably rolled over and down he went.
