<p>I'm living in a unit 3 triple standard and I'll most likely sleep on a top bunk bed. Is there a fence installed along the bed? I'm pretty sure I'll fall off and die (I am being serious) if there isn't one. Has anybody ever fallen off?</p>
<p>there wasn't i believe when i stayed during calso because i put pillows on the side of me to keep from falling off</p>
<p>hmm i didn't see one either.. lol
I don't remember of falling from a bed b4.. maybe it's cause my bed it big.. lol.</p>
<p>Some bunks have them and some don't. It's just the luck of the draw I guess. </p>
<p>And a girl did fall off the top bunk on my floor freshmen year. She ended up only spraining her arm and was fine though.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>haha that doesn't sound very fine to me lol</p>
<p>you could buy a bed rail if you wanted to, but unless you've fallen off your normal bed during sleep before, there's no reason to think you'll roll off a top bunk.</p>
<p>lol.. well what I meant to say is that she didn't experience any injuries beyond a minor sprain. She could have ended up with something much worse, like a cracked head or something...</p>
<p>Why would you "most likely" sleep on the top bunk? If you're honestly scared to death, tell your roomies how you feel and try to get a bottom bunk.</p>
<p>On another note, sleeping on the top bunk in no different than sleeping on the bottom. You don't fall off of your bed at home, do you? :p</p>
<p>Oh wow, no fence? If I have a Foothill double in suite, will my roommate and I have a bunk bed?</p>
<p>@smileysoccergal: No.</p>

<p>You shouldn't have a problem. Sleeping on the top is no different than the bottom...unless you regularly fall off your bed at home, don't worry about it.</p>
<p>Wow, I never thought of that before (the part about top and bottom beds are no different).</p>
<p>I think it's the fear of heights too.</p>
<p>It is less scary to stand on a 2-in tall platform than to stand on a 30-ft tall platform.</p>
<p>My parents said I've had previous record of sleep walking. Though I don't have any recollection of it, I rather take their words for it. Where can you buy those bed railings?</p>
<p>Why can't you just ask for a bottom bunk?</p>
<p>@ corona7w...well have you waken up on the floor? If not, then you're not falling off your bed. Don't worry about it, you really don't need a railing. And if you are really that concerned about it, just explain it to your room mates and tell them you 'need' the bottom bunk. Why waste money?</p>
<p>My other two roommates all said they want the bottom bunk, so we settled on a rotation plan. I want to minimize my chance of falling off during my turn.</p>
<p>. . .</p>
<p>my bunk bed in Bowles had a fence. I slept on the bottom though</p>
<p>this is the funniest thread ever</p>
