How does a big heavy wardrobe piece of furniture just fall after opening it?
Unless dumb as a box of rocks and thought i was an exit/doorway and sadown or tried to walk into it, she either was dumb and hanging off the front of it by her arms and it tipped or she pulled on the doors that were closed and it tipped.
She threw a fit while inside it when no TP was found after she did her business?
Good question. But if a person opens the doors, starts to climb in it, and unbalances it with the weight shifted to different center of gravity, I could see it. (Not saying that happened.)
I was rather wondering the same thing. Sorry for what happened to that lovely lady, but I have opened many a wardrobe in my day, and not one ever fell on me.
Something doesn’t add up.
I’m rather surprised the wardrobe didn’t have a safety strap.
Yep - any bets the hotel is working hard to blame the men so it doesn’t get sued?
Saw am episode of Midsomers Murder where a guy died of a wardrobe felling on him right in front of Inspector Barnaby and his assistant. The murderer hired a carpenter to detach the bolts holding it in place.
It's a heavy piece of furniture that can be top heavy. In the US a hotel would have a closet not a wardrobe. Also in the US trial lawyers would be lining up to sue the hotel. A big heavy piece of furniture like that should be attached to a wall to prevent it from falling. The management of the hotel ought to be held accountable. It's a foreseeable problem.
I can see how this could happen...
Happened to me as a kid, when I was about 7, or 8. Big CRT TV on top of a cabinet (~4’ tall) where our toys, games and puzzles were kept. I opened the doors to the cabinet and fell back as I sat down, holding the doors pulling the cabinet with me. Cabinet tilted forward, fell on top of me and the heavy CRT TV slid off, dropping onto my head, splitting open a huge laceration. Step monster was at the store. White carpet, open bleeding head wound, looked like Carrie from the prom scene, blood everywhere as I went back and forth to the bathroom.
Mommy Dearest’s big concern when she returned to what looked like a crime scene?
“LOOK at what you’ve BLEEPING done to my carpet!”
No, alcohol wasn’t involved THAT time =o)
Poor design. My stepmother has a beautiful antique wardrobe that does the same thing. My wife discovered this "feature" when she emptied the wardrobe to clean.
