#littleleague #bunkbed #gma
I pray Easton makes a full recovery. My son was hit by a car at age 12 and died during surgery. I can never talk to him or hold him again. No child or parent should have to go through this. Hopefully he will be playing baseball again soon.
I'm so sorry for you!! That is a nightmare!!!!
❤️ 🙏
💚💙❤🧡💛✨
Sorry sis
I'm so sorry for your loss
I grew up on a bunk bed sharing a room with my sibling, the summer camps I went to had bunk beds. But guess what.? ALL of them had a ladder and non detachable safety rails. There is no excuse why the league could not install them. Don't they know kids roll around in their sleep?
You weirdos. It’s not the camps fault. Many people had bunkbeds without ladders in the 90’s. Most of us. Ever fell off. I’m guessing you were born in the 2000’s
Exactly. I thought all bunk beds have safety rails. I have slept in bunk beds in hunting lodges, dorm rooms, hostels, etc and they’ve all had the rails. It’s stupid to put little kids in bunk beds without rails.
@@jujutrini8412 As an adult I could see myself falling off that lol.
@@monolyn Same. I don’t think I would even be able to sleep due to being scared of falling out!
Those bunkbeds are scary!
I have never seen a bunkbed without a railing before!
I’ve slept in a bunk bed in Haiti and we had railing!
I had an upper bunk in my dorm in college with no rails. At least one side was set against a wall but thankfully I never fell from it.
My bunk bed when I was a kid didn't have a railing. It had a ladder, but it was pushed to the foot of the bed. I fell out when I was 10 or 11, came to standing next to the bed. I think I was in shock or maybe had a head injury, but soon realized I had excruciating shoulder pain. Talked my mom into taking me to the ER after she told me to go back to bed, and turned out my collar bone was shattered.
The one thing that strikes me is that it was once the father moved the boy and sat him up that he lost ability to essentially control himself, which to me sounds like a spinal injury.
A Reminder: Don't move anybody who may have injured their head or neck, you sitting them up and moving them could cause further irreversible damage, or prolong their road to recovery. Allow a medical professional to assess the person before moving them, and just STABILIZE, do not move.
When you’re panicking and emotional you don’t think rationally.
I think what he meant is that he was unable to follow commands, which is a sign of a brain injury- which is what he ultimately had. I 100% agree with you should never move anybody with a suspected SCI, but in this case the father was referring to his son’s cognitive faculties, which were significantly impaired because of his epidural hematoma.
absolutely 💯
Comment I was looking for
That's literally the FIRST RULE of ANY injurned person.. head or back injury or not.. NEVER MOVE THEM!
Those bunk beds are ridiculous, have never seen anything like it. Poor kid. 💔
Have you not seen college dorms this so the same lol 😂 these kids are too soft this generation is too soft.
@@alexiscalderon4576 I was raised by a tough and practical baby boomer father, this has nothing to do about being soft. Even he would admit that bed is ridiculous, suppose you were in a deep sleep and rolled over? If that were your kid going through multiple brain surgeries you would never have made that comment and I pray that you never have to endure what that kid is going through right now because no one deserves that.
What college dorm has bunk beds?? Even triples have their own beds
@@NatalieMcIntyre-eh5xx Texas tech and Texas AM where I’ve been.
@@NatalieMcIntyre-eh5xxst John's university, but they also have partial railings if I remember correctly
My son lived thru that same type of injury from a fall as well…..thankful your son is healing! Our boys are 100% miracles
Thank goodness for the SKILLED DOCTORS NURSES AND PHYSICAL THERAPISTS who have helped this young man heal!
Umm the doctors said he wouldn't live and weren't going to do ANYTHING. Without the parents brow beating them into it they were going to let him die without trying to do ANYTHING. So no, no thank you to them, it's their job and they had to be forced to do it. Thank goodness for that boys LOVING AND CARING PARENTS who forced them to try.
@@Lyntharidid you watch the clip? They did the surgery, and tried to be realistic with them about the survival outcome based on statistics of similar cases. Re-watch the clip and practice your listening and comprehension skills. Learning is fundamental. 😊
He survived by the grace of God
Amazing what science can do when Republicans don't lie about it.
@@Lynthari They were not forced to do anything. You do no harm to patients so they just wanted to not provide false hope to the parents. They would still do the surgery. They just stated that if they arrived 15 minutes later than they did the surgery would not be useful at all because he would probably be brain dead from all the compression with the bleed and the amount of blood he was losing. You can't lie to patients you have to keep it honest but you still do your best to save the patients life. Prayer helps those praying to be comfortable and be hopeful, I see nothing wrong with that. It was also the father being there talking to him before surgery to give the little boy strength and comfort his dad was close by.
Thank God he made it, he is a miracle. This girl in my college freshman class fell from a bunkbed, shattered her teeth, and broke her nose. Having a railing is the most basic safety standard.
So what's your point actually?
She’s saying how important it is to have a rail. Did you not read her comment thoroughly enough?
Yep. Had loft beds my freshman year in college with hard tile floors. I'm amazed no one got seriously injured (like a TBI) back then...because then the school would have banned them while I was there. But that was 20 years ago, so...
@@davidsmiths5471 Her point is a bedrail would have prevented this person from falling out of the top bunk and getting hurt.
I can't even count how many times my brother and I fell out of the top bunk. I hope he makes a full recovery!
Same! My twin sister and I! Praying for him!
I fell once never slept on top again I’m hope everything works out for this family
Same!
Right and I had a rail on mine and still went over. I’m a hard sleeper.
Soft headed kid i guess
The beds should have rails. Period. The other problem with is injury protocol. If someone suffers a head/neck injury you are NOT supposed to move them. They are supposed to stay still. There are many cases where that happens and I hope they raise awareness about it to prevent others from suffering similarly.
Unfortunately, it would probably take a kid's death from falling off the top bunk for them to put rails on.
@@healingthroughchrist1988 I'm glad they disassembled them and made them singles. Those types of bunks are well known to be a danger. Hopefully, the family receives the funds for the long term rehabilitation/lifestyle adjustments and the situation can be resolved.
@@healingthroughchrist1988 true
and the dad moved him? there goes their lawsuit
I once had a upper bunk bed crash down over me on the lower bed. Thank God I had many pillows around and one above my head that saved me from a really bad injury. God bless Easton I hope he can fully recover 🙏💙
😢that actually happen to me and my brothers as kids the top bunk fell on and we all 3 had bruises and it fell on are stomachs and body and we woke up screaming crying thats weird how bunk beds just falls down like that when they are put together the right way smh
Movie: Stepbrothers
That happened to me when I was little also. I'm so happy I didn't have severe injuries
Omg! That happened to me too! I have a scar on my lip because of it!
How did you have a pillow above your head? You slept with a pillow on your face?
I had a "loft" bed similar to this in college my freshman year (most people did) and a hard tile floor and in hindsight 20 years later, I'm amazed no one was seriously injured. It's amazing to me that they had top bunks that high with no railings for CHILDREN...my god. So glad Easton is recovering.
i was just about to say i had a loft bed too but when i was in middle school. mine had the railings i always assumed most have some kind of support. i was always afraid of falling off.
I fell off of a REGULAR bed around 4 years old and broke my collar bone. Sending this kid and his family so much love and healing ❤️
It happens at all ages. I am shocked at the height of the bunk beds pictured.
@@peggyreely8339 No it shouldn't "happen at all ages." School age children, especially those old enough to go to sleepaway camp should be able to sleep in a bed without falling out.
@@su-rv2uq Maybe they were drunk.
Exact same thing happened to me at age 3.
@@su-rv2uq tell us exactly how a person prevents themselves from rolling over just a bit too far while they are SOUND ASLEEP. At what age does this magic feat happen?
Thank you to the DOCTORS that saved his life. I'm sure they would appreciate some recognition.
At first my thought was, focus on your sons recovery instead of lawyering up. Then I saw how tall that top bunk was with no rails 😳 that’s way taller than expected and irresponsible to not have safety rails. I’d be lawyering up too
And the second thought should have been,why didn't the parents check the safety for their child?
@@davidsmiths5471 yeah very good point and a hurtle they will have to go up against with the defense in court
@@Acvasq And they really didn't go into how or why he fell out either! But that's the media now days!
If the father was with him and saw the bed, why didn't he do something??
The parents were there tho. They saw where he was sleeping and had no concerns until after he fell. Why didn’t the parents raise concern when they saw the bunk bed??
Hey kid, sending out my positive vibes for your recovery and back to baseball. Keep fighting. I was lying in my hospital bed with a TBI right around that same time.
My daughter fell off her bunk bed and broke her collarbone . When we came back from the hospital the first thing I did was to take that bed down.......I'm praying for this sweet child.. God will heal him !!!!! ❤️🙏🏼❤️
Same thing happened to me, shattered collarbone. Not only did Mom not want to get up and take me to ER, I was back in the same bed as soon as my shoulder healed. You're a good mom.
appalling that this has happened 13 times now and they JUST had the idea to make the beds no longer bunkbeds?
Yea not surprised. Unless someone gets seriously hurt or dies they don’t change
THAT'S CALLED KNOWN AND PURPOSEFUL NEGLIGENCE !!! EMAILS PROVE IT !!! 🤬
What kind of bunk beds don't have top rails??!! I've never seen anything like that before. 😢 I am so glad to hesr this boy survived and i hope that he continues to have good progress in his long recovery journey. 🙏🏾
Exactly. Like rails are standard for bunk beds. Wtf?!
As of 2000, all new bunk beds were required to have safety rails but they exempted those made for "institutional use", meaning schools, summer camps, etc. Knowing the reason for the law (multiple deaths) and the risks in that age group, it is disgraceful that the Little League didn't voluntarily install rails years ago.
I hope that baby boy makes a full recovery! This story made me remember the time my son who was 7 at the time, rolled off the top bunk at 3am onto the wood floors, I happened to be up watching Netflix when I heard the bang. I hesitated and decided to check in the boys room and shocked to see my son on the floor! I screamed so loud and cried, he was whimpering and soiled himself and all I could do was pick him up and jump in the shower fully clothes, he came to and started to cry and vomit. We went straight to the ER where they monitored him for the day. It was so scary but my boy is a healthy 17yr old now.
Omg is he okay please answer😢
Thank God he is ok!
@@MISSLOVELY_REE yes ma’am! He’s a thriving 17yr old now. SUPER scary situation that reached too close to home.
so glad your son is ok ❤
He's not a baby.
It’s sad this child had to go through this before anything was done.😢 common sense clearly lacking
nn
So sad that it always has to be something severe like this to happen in order for change to take place. How do you not see that as a hazard 🤦🏼♀️ so glad he made it and good luck on a full recovery 💙 ⚾️
The first kid that fell off and broke something they should’ve put rails up!
It’s crazy right. You know the number one cause of death for children….? You think we’d have done something about it.
This is soooo tragic. Prayers for EASTON 🙏🏼 for full recovery. Sweet boy 💙
They have rails on the top bunks in college dorms. Why wouldn't they have them for a bunch of 13 year olds!? That's insane.
Not at my kid's university. In fact, I'm willing to bet that most colleges don't since that's cheaper.
@bpxl53yewz that's interesting. That had them at mine, and all of the campuses I've been to.
@@bpxl53yewz29 So they value money above safety?
Mine do not have rails
@@healingthroughchrist1988 So wouldn't you think the parents would check to make sure their child would be safe in environment?Or more concerned about being at the Little League World Series??
I had a coworker once who fell off a bunk bed as a kid. She hit a metal filing cabinet on the way down and broke every bone in her face. It's crazy how dangerous they can be.
My mother went through the same thing with me when I was 19. Epidermal and subdermal hematoma with skull fracture, had emergency brain surgery was in a coma for days. I can’t imagine experiencing this with my child.
my god. thank goodness you made it through.
Wow, that’s crazy. So glad he’s pulling through. I’ve never even seen a bunk bed like that with no rails of any kind. I wouldn’t want my child sleeping in a top bunk like that.
Is crazy cause the father beat him
Poor kid, my heart goes out to him 🙏⚾️
I detest bunk beds. I hope and pray this little boy makes a full recovery!
I am a survivor of tbi due to a car accident...It will be a long road of therapy and medication but there is a positive light at the end.He will never truly be the same but he will be a new version of himself..embrace that
Prayers to you all
Sending prayers for this boy! I remember waking up on the floor at my aunt and uncle’s house once! I had a giant bruise on my hip and thigh from where I landed! I had started on the top bunk! This was the 1970’s and I was very young! Thank God I only got bruised up!
When I was 14 I went to camp and fell off the top bunk bed. I never told anyone about it, but I remember it did hurt.
I remembered my experience as a kid, growing up. My mother had 8 kids so you know those beds is what we slept on. Horrible what happened, I cried just watching and can't even imagine the parents pain. Kid's life change at that moment for the rest of his life. Why didn't they just put the safety bars? What else could of been more important than the safety of those kids? I hope he makes a full recovery.
My daughter was asleep on the top bunk WITH A BEDRAIL. She was 8. Apparently, she rolled over in the night, her foot caught the rail, and down she went, rail and all-hitting her back and head on the dresser on the way down to the floor. I heard it as it was happening because I had fallen asleep on the couch. I immediately called 911. I knew to not try to move her, and the hospital was 2 blocks away. Thankfully, she is alive, and didn’t have any serious injuries. But she is nearly 40 now, and has had daily headaches and back pain ever since that fall.
Me and my older sisters shared a room once and we had bunkbeds.
Our older sister had top bunk and one night getting in to bed the top bunk collapsed on me and my sister and our older sister was on top, luckily we had minor injuries, after that I didn't trust them damn beds!!
I hope he makes a full recovery😢❤❤❤
Poor little boy. I'm glad he survived. I hope he makes a full recovery
I'm sorry this happened to your baby my prayers go out to you! Praying for his full recovery.
I was in in cadets for 8 years. We had 3 layer bunk beds . So base, second and triple top. Since I was small I always got out in triple top… it took me 30-45 seconds just to climb the ladder all the way up… even cadets had a small bar that kept us from falling… but never enough to feel secure so we were taught how to wedge our sleeping bags to ensure this didn’t happen …
What happened here was gross negligence…
Praying he makes a full recovery. How tragic. Those beds look horribly unsafe..
Such sad accident, sending healing hugs for Easton ❤️🩹
I truly hope this boy fully recovers. Love n prayers for the family
@Wills R Lutz no one cares, troll
Negligence 100% bunk beds are not safe. This could be prevented and thank GOD this boy still alive. I really hope the family files a lawsuit against the league not to get money but to make them accountable for this. I really hope and ask God to help this boy heal and help them to get his life back so one day he can go back to play like he used to.
I’m 60 and bunk beds never had rails when I was young. I’m sure kids fell out but I don’t remember any stories from camp or whatever. But those beds don’t look right to me. The top is much higher than I remember them being. I think that in order to make them more roomy underneath they have raised the top to unsafe levels. Rail them in already. We have to stop waiting for tragedies to happen before we fix things.
I fell off the top bunk at 8 yrs old. I landed on a Fisher Price truck on the floor and it crushed my elbow. I spent a week in traction then 2 surgeries and the better part of a year in a cast.
I have a prosthetic elbow and full use of my arm now.
I pray Easton makes a full recovery ❤️🩹
My cousin launched me off the top bunk of a bunk bed & I was absolutely perfect minus being scared from the initial fall. So sad this boy had it hard! ☹️♥️
I fell off a bunk bed in boarding school, broke my teeth and my jaws were swollen, they didn't even inform my parents by God's grace I got better. These schools need to be held responsible truly. May God heal this baby😢
I remember hearing about Easton. It broke my heart. I’m glad that he is still here and doing better. I’ll continue to pray for Easton and his family!!! 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
Any bunkbed without a rail should not be sold at all. Thats a basic safety risk mitigation. I hope Easton recovers much sooner than expected!
Sending prayers for a full recovery back to playing baseball. This tragedy should've never happened in the first place . There is no excuse why they didn't install the rails, I slept on my share of bunk beds when I was in boy scouts and summer camps in the late '90s and every one of them had the rails and easy to climb ladder .
So it took a 13yo getting seriously injured for them to get rid of the bunk beds...? Smh As they said, this could have been prevented...sad 😢
Well because Bunk beds have been like that for years and years.
Sending prayers to this loving family. Thank God Easton pulled through❤
Omg this poor, sweet baby. These parents had no idea something as simple as a bunk bed could do this. Anyone could roll over and fall out of this bunk bed.....child or adult. The little league dorm should have taken every measure to make sure this place was safe for these kids. I hope he heals quickly.
Where are the rails for the top bunk?
Top bed without rails, in America? How long has that gone on without anyone saying anything!
they’re operating like a prison
How awful for this family. 😢 I fell off of a bunk bed just like this (no rails) as a kid at camp and landed on my neck. Thankfully, I was okay, but it was definitely scary, especially seeing how bad that can go if you fall wrong. There’s no reason these super slim beds shouldn’t have rails on the sides. That’s sheer negligence. Prayers for his full and complete recovery.
So what happened after that?
@@davidsmiths5471 Nothing much, actually. My only memory of the incident is being curled up on the floor holding my head and neck in the utter darkness of the cabin in the middle of the night. I never told my parents, the counsellors, or anyone about it, for whatever reason. Maybe just embarrassment, trying to be tough about it, or both.
@@tomsuiteriii9742 you were VERY lucky, thank goodness!
@@dawnieb.7394 Definitely! I didn’t realize how lucky until I saw this 😦
So, his parents were there at the dorm sleeping as well? One would understandably assume that they were aware that the beds had no rails then? And they still let their kid sleep up there? Um, doesn’t that act of negligence make them at least partially at fault in this incident as well? It’s a horrible tragedy that this happened to Easton at all, but to put the blame squarely on the shoulders of LL is a little ridiculous. You have an obligation as a parent to ensure that your children are in a safe situation and not rely on others to do that for you.
My boys sleep on the same beds at camp. Problem is, you sign a waiver stating ‘you won’t hold them liable for anything’
I wonder why that's in the waver. It seems like a legal way to avoid consequences for wilful neglect.
Praying for a speedy recovery!
Those bunk beds were ridiculous! Super tall and zero rails, not even a frame around the mattress.
Prayers for this boy and his families, thank you God for his healing
Why does it always seem to take a tragedy to get shit done, that should have been considered from day one? I ran a Boy Scouts camp, I built cabins and beds. Every single bunk bed was built with a safety rail. No one had to fall out first, anyone with half a brain knows people toss and turn in their sleep. Prayers for a full recovery. And prayers for a HUGE settlement to help this young man in the decades to come. 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
I just wish him the best, my prayers and love are with him and his family.
My sister fell out of the top bunk when she was little I remember running in the room seeing blood gushing from her forehead she 37 now and still have a knot on her head that never went away
oh my this poor baby. Prayers to this family.
It’s crazy how you can sleep in a twin bed your whole life and never fall out of it while sleeping but the moment you sleeping one far off the ground you roll out of it! Growing up my sister and I had bunks and I refused to sleep in it if it wasn’t gonna have rails. I was terrified of falling out of it. Now as an adult I can sleep hanging off my adult bed and never fall out of it yet still scared to sleep up high off ground. I hope they fix that issue so no more children are hurt!
Poor baby 😢 bless this heart 💓😢
Little League's response in this video was just a platinum version of the answer they always give when asked about something that needs changing, "We'll take a look at that for next year.".
I just did a Google search of "bunkbeds for kids" and every one of the beds that popped up in the search had a guard rail of some sort. Every damned one of them. It would not surprise me if LL was more concerned with saving the cost of a safety rail than preventing injuries from falls that they KNEW had happened and would happen again. LL has no excuse, but they will spend millions of dollars to defend the lawsuit when they should be spending millions of dollars for this boys hospital bills and long term care.
I too pray that this beautiful young child stays on the earth longer. what I don’t understand is why there are no safety rails on those bunkbeds. I had them on mine with my kids sleeping in bunk beds.
That’s a pretty high bunk bed with no rails at all these are kids who move around a lot in their sleep. Don’t blame the family for suing at all.
Such a strong boy, what a little fighter ❤
Wow such a great story! Has my emotions all over the place! From anger, at the fact it had to almost kill a child to have the necessary changes made, to sadness that this little guy wont be able to do what he loves most, at least for a while. Sad that a great chunk of the best part of his childhood was stolen from him and his family. Then to sheer excitement to learn he is truly a miracle! Excited That prayers and strong support from family, friends and community are fueling his recovering and that he survived thise severe injuries at all, well it simply amazes me. And of course It scares me a little to think, that in the blink of an eye, or in this case, while youre sleeping, your entire world can change! Sending Prayers and Love to Easton, His Parents, family and friends, as well as all the Dr.s Nurses and rehab team! #EastonStrong #LetsGoEaston
❤❤ Prayers to the lil guy and his family.
I was a bit confused when dad said he was told to say goodbye. Easton lived, and I'm grateful to hear that. The rest is in God's hands. And, yes, thoughts and prayers for Easton, because prayers do count and do make a difference.
Tell that to anyone who has prayed for their children to be saved and still had to bury them. Funny how nobody talks about all the times that “thoughts and prayers” fail.
May he make a full recovery and play again soon.
One of my worst childhood injuries was falling from a bunk bed. The “safety” rail broke right off and I fell backward with the rail on top of me, smashing my head on the floor. I had a serious concussion and it took months to be fully back to myself.. bunk beds are SO dangerous. My brother fell off too, also getting a concussion.
I'm so happy he has beat the odds ❤
I don't care how old a person is there needs to be guard railings on bunk beds. When I was little I fell out of my top bunk. Luckily my sister's bed was shifted in a different way, so her bed caught me, but I could have been seriously hurt.
If the little league dorms are that bad and other boys have gotten hurt than the little league needs to put new and safe ones. I'm shocked bc my bunk beds when I was a kid 25 years ago we all had top safety rails. I'm glad their sueing!!!! This needs to be stopped. I pray for this little boy and family. May God bless and look over them and help him recover fully. ❤❤
God is great and my prays are with him and his family 🙏🙏
sweet boy, please recover soon
As a mum, my heart broke listening to them tell their story and I cried for that little boy. I really hope the best for the family and I hope they get the rightful justice they deserve. It takes guts for a parent to trust anyone with our kids when they have to be with them and we cant, this is a parents worst nightmare and if it'd happened at home.... Well it would be a different story. The parents would be investigated and charged by the state, theyd lose custody also. I've had both my soms hospitalised while in the care of school, even with their teaching assistants right with them here in the uk.... My sons have special needs but It also angers me to think these systems that claim to protect our kids, even from us, their own parents, puts them in more danger than we do. I'm not religeous, I don't go to church but I will pray for his recovery and future, one day at a time. Bless them all. Get well soon Easton.
Great parents, God bless.
Thank God Easton is still here with us!!!
Through faith and prayers I send to this family and many like that. This young child was given a gift from God, he gave him life. There are miracles that happen every day, and this young child will make it where he needs to be. Blessings
The doctor said no way. God said bet me. That little boy is such a fighter. What a precious child. The whole thing gives me goosebumps
Duh, anyone could look at that setup & see the danger! Especially wiggly kids that sleep restlessly. Prayers for Eastons continued recovery.
I hope your son heals quickly!
Please Jesus Christ heal this precious boy completely 😢😢😢❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
It's the same with college dorms - bunk beds with no rails. You only need one rail since bunk beds are usually against a wall due to small dorm space, but most colleges don't have even one. College kids fall off and get concussions too.
How is that even possible?
Thats horrible 😢 I grew up in the 80s when we didn't have safety rails on the top bunks, I never fell out of the top bunk, but my sister fell out of the bottom. When my kids were little they had bunk beds and they came with built in safety rails almost fully on both sides. I can't believe they didn't have top safety rails on those bunk beds which also look super high, and especially since it happened a few years ago I mean that's negligent
I hope he makes a full recovery 🙏 love from Australia
Boarding schools, camp hostels and bunk beds. I remember falling down one night from the top tier when I was fourteen. The things we survived... We need to do away with these archaic arrangements!!!
I loved bunk beds but I never got them for my boys specially them been so active..SENDING PRAYERS AND SPEEDY RECOVERY ❤️🩹 FOR THIS CHILD
I’d never even let my kid sleep on that bunk bed, that’s absolutely unbelievable they didn’t have rails. A Heartbreaking and scary injury with a great medical team in place to assist luckily afterwards.
The housing for the young players at the Little League World Series is extremely tight. It would be far too expensive to have the kids plus the adults in local hotels. Anybody out of state who wants to attend the series might have to drive miles away to get accommodations. There are just not that many hotels. Or motels in the Williamsport area.
It’s so sad that people don’t take things seriously until it’s going to cost THEMSELVES something precious…. So little leagues didn’t care about the kids until someone was loud enough to hold them accountable.
I slept in a bunk bed as a kid and rolled off so many times. I’m not even sure how I didn’t break any bones.
My brother on the other hand, fell off once and broke his arm.
Omg, my daughter has a loft bed, and refused to allow her to not have a rail. She's 22 and there's a safety rails.everything I've ever done for her, involved me over thinking safety. And thank god I did. With other who were hurt or sick from e something that I didn't allow her to do or have, I felt very thankful and she today says she's extremely thankful I raised her that way. While still allowing her to be her own person.
I had a loft bed as a college freshman 20 years ago with no rail. As a fully formed adult (lol), I'm amazed the college allowed that.
Power of prayer ! Has saved me more than once
Power of prayer...Amen...Easton you got this buddy...One day at a time♡
fell off top bunk at a summer camp at the age of 10. Ruptured my spleen, in ICU a week. Fine 40 years later. Very lucky here- no lawyer, no harm done. Life is good.
TAKE CARE OF THE CHILDREN FOR GOODNESS SAKE!
Prayers for the son and parents. God heal him. 🙏
Oh my goodness, that sweet boy. ♥️💔 I actually loudly gasped when I saw those bunk beds. What in the HELL?! As a mom of three kids, with bunk and loft beds, where were the safety rails and ladders? I have never seen anything like that in my life. How terrifying for Easton and his roommates for this to happen in the middle of the night. Gutwrenching and incredibly negligent. Heartbreaking to see a great athlete struggle with even physical therapy now. But he's ALIVE. Prayers to this sweet family.
Seriously, I gasped too. Absolutely an accident waiting to happen, that unfortunately did happen.
I'm from Italy and bunk bed without bars are not legal. How can they think those beds are safe to use? How can they allowd those beds to be used?
