Bunk bed injuries

In 2002, a 12-year-old girl was staying in holiday accommodation in Queensland when she died after falling from a bunk bed’s upper bed that lacked a guardrail.

In 2000, a three-year-old boy staying at his grandparents’ house in country Victoria died after he was caught between a bunk bed’s upper bed and the wall. He was wearing a bike helmet and was hung by its strap.
