    Dying from falling out of bed? Such a preventable tragedy.

    I will write my congressmen.
    It's all about taking action and not being lazy. So you do the work, whether it's fitness or whatever. It's about getting up, motivating yourself and just doing it.

    Which of the following best completes this sentence:


    Over the past 10 years, _____ killed the most Americans.


    If you chose either kind of terrorist, you were wrong – by a long-shot.

    It turns out that lightning, lawnmowers, armed toddlers, buses, and simply falling out of bed were all
    independently more frequent annual causes of death than all kinds of terrorism combined on average over the past decade.

    Armed toddlers (?)

    It is estimated that 90,000 people a year die from slips, trips and falls around the house.

    I presume that falling out of bed is part of that.

    I demand action against this deadly scourge.

    Mandatory helmet use at all times just for starters.

    Mandatory fall arresting gear to be worn at all times.

    A federal fatwa banning all hard floor substances.

    A federal fatwa mandating 12 inches of cushion foam on all replacement floor surfaces.

    Mandatory in home surveillance to monitor for compliance.

    @TheTexan Get on it!

    Just one helmet? The modest mandatory Two Helmet Law while sleeping would not only protect people from death by bed, but increase profit margins!

    1776 > 1984

    The FAILURE of the United States Government to operate and maintain an
    Honest Money System , which frees the ordinary man from the clutches of the money manipulators, is the single largest contributing factor to the World's current Economic Crisis.

    Good ideas. Some of them seem a bit extreme but others quite reasonable.

    But as they say, extremism in defense of safety is no vice. And moderation in pursuit of safety is no virtue.

    Bars should be padded to prevent injury but otherwise looks great. I will send this to my congressmen.

    69 people dying from lawnmowers. Either a coincidence or somebody has a dirty mind.

    but I don't think that is going to raise the base price of a bed enough to really hurt the average American. I demand front and side airbags be mandatory.

    Not Oyarde, he sleeps in a teepee on the ground. No chance he will fall out of bed at least.
