BUNK BEDS
“36,000 injuries related to bunk beds occur in the United States each year, according to Nationwide Children’s Hospital and the American Academy of Pediatrics. The head and neck are most prone to injuries due to falls from bunk beds. Our Scouting family is not immune to this risk.”
Bunk beds are often experienced in cabin camping accommodations and can be beneficial if all participants, youth and adult, understand the basic safety rules for their use. The same rules also apply to lofts in lean-to’s and 3 or 4 tier beds hung from chains on a naval ship overnighter. All incidents are due to not following these basic guidelines.
