My family room has 10 windows across 3 walls, all about 15 feet above ground. I never open them all the way, a habit I got into when my kids were little and I was afraid a toddler could fall out. Looking at the photo where the windows are open and the bed is up against them freaked me out a little bit. As a parent, I certainly would’ve made the same comment to my kid if I had moved him/her into a room like that. And I would make them move them bed (I could easily see a laptop, etc easily sliding out the window from the bed.
Seeing these pictures makes me glad D’s room faces an exterior hallway, sort of like a motel. She’s on the fourth floor but her windows and door open to the outside where there is a hallway running the length of the floor.
There were several incidents of falls/suicides (two died, two survived) from Bancroft Hall at the Naval Academy (two occurred while my husband was a student there). After the last one, in which the (drunk) midshipman died, safety devices were installed on all the windows.
