Bunk beds are really not a good idea.
Wonder what really happened
This happened to me, 11 years old at Scout camp. No injuries but some serious ribbing for months.
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 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 understand the space and space-cost conditions that leads to the use of bunk beds in dorms for kids like those attendinding large event away games like the Little League world series.
But in that same context there is often more “horsing around” among the bunks when not sleeping, and half-asleep very tired kids making mistakes getting out of the upper bunks.
Not frequent but tragic non the less.
The private school where I went for high school dorm rooms had bunk beds, we could separate them. My roommate and I did it. Had bunk beds went I was 5 to 7 rolled off the top. Had a headache.
As a 2nd grader in the 1960’s I rolled off the top bunk once. I had a scrape on my forehead, but that was all. Apparently I sort of rolled down the ladder which mitigated the damage. They really should have side rails on them.
