I was on the front seat of a bus that had to swerve to miss a dining room set on I-95. When you’re in an area that’s been settled by the third world, it’s not that uncommon.

The metal "bands" that form the outside of the mattress (what keeps it in shape) are quite large in diameter. I have no doubt that if the mattress was folded up under the bus and that frame suddenly gave way it could puncture a gas line for certain...and it would probably puncture the tank if positioned correctly.

My first job out of college was selling home furnishings (including mattresses). The funniest mattress story that I have EVER heard pertained to a delivery. No one was home at the scheduled delivery time, so the supremely customer service oriented deliver drivers made the "executive" decision to simply throw the king-sized mattress OVER the backyard fence (a wood fence..they could not see what was on the other side).

And, the King-sized mattress went....right...into...the...POOL, and immediately sank to the bottom...LOL!

The company had to hire a crane to remove it.
