Preventive Measures for Bunk Bed Users
As far as sleeping on bunk beds is concerned, no one can really tell if any real danger exists unless there is some horseplay that would be happening especially around the kids. One thing you have to consider as well is that stuff lying around anywhere can be a hazard to anyone who has a room full of things lying around in all the wrong places.
Bunk beds are often looked upon as great places to sleep on. But that does not mean you should not be aware of all the things around you. For one thing, cleanliness and tidiness are important and if you are not careful you may end up like the son of this man who later on found his kid hanging unconscious from his bed.
Back in 2001, a father in Repentigny walked into his son’s bedroom and witnessed a horrific sight. His 8-year-old boy was hanging unconscious from his bunk bed. The belt of his bathrobe was wrapped around his neck.
The father’s attempt to revive him was unsuccessful and the boy died in hospital.

LOL Jagdu, but that is quite sad.
This is heartbreaking and scary
Yes it is alarming indeed. The best thing to do is make sure your kids rooms are free from messy debris like toys and clothes thrown anywhere in the place.
Good point Brian. However hearing all these stories abt bunk beds, the best thing is to just skip them!
Thanks Tanya. Yeah, if you can skip em, move on and find a safer bed. You just never known what may happen.
Maybe the correct thing to say is bunk beds are fine if your not the top one.
Yes I guess that would work too. But we all know how most kids want to be on the top layer most of the time though.
