Bunk Beds can be dangerous

[farmboy12]

I was on a missions trip to Philadelphia, Pa. I fell off a bunk bed Friday night in my sleep. It is really bad. I landed on my face I have what will most likely end up a scar, and I sprained my ankle. Glad it wasn't worse. If you have young children, put rails on or don't have one. I'm 13, but to 3-10 year olds, it could be really bad.

Sorry you took a tumble, been thinking about a bunk for my mini-boss, probably not gonna happen after these stories.

When we were kids, just for kicks, my brother used to propel me out of the upper bunk by putting both of his feet flat on the bottom of the matress and then shoving as hard as he could with both legs. He thought it was real funny.
Glad you are ok Kyle, at your age you will heal quick.

When our youngest daughter was 4 years old, we had a little motorhome with a pull down bunk over the driver/passenger seats. There was a ladder that could be used to get up there, and then the ladder could be turned and put in place as a guard rail to prevent anyone from falling out. However, there was still about a 12" to 18" gap at each end of that ladder. Sure enough, one night I was awakened by a thud and a yelp from our German Shepherd. I don't know how she could have gotten through that gap at the end of the ladder, but the 4 year old had fallen out of the bunk and landed on the dog. Neither was them was hurt, and the next morning the 4 year didn't even remember it happening. But the dog slept under our bed from then on instead of lying by the door.
