something to think about
there is this shelf over my bed. right over where i usually put my head. today, after school, i came back and found out that that shelf, that had a lot of heavy books on it, collapsed. makes you wonder, how lucky it is, that i wasn't right under it when it happened. :3

Yikes. Imagine if that hit you while you slept... who knows what would've happened...

Re: something to think about
Yeah, that's truly lucky! I am glad you are not hurt!
I guess I will start thinking twice whenever I have to sleep below a shelf or something!

You really lucked out man, good thing you're okay.

Re: something to think about
Your luck knows no bounds. Things could have gotten messy if you had been under it.
Re: something to think about
Lucky you, happy us! Yayz!

You probably wouldn´t have woken up.
Re: something to think about
Oh snap, I have some of my old skateboards hung up over my bed. Time to find a new place to put those! They're not really heavy, but the trucks could mess you up...

Also, because not the full weight would have gone on your head. I at least hope that your mattress is a bit more fluffy than a stone plate.

Re: something to think about
Strangely enough, I've had a shelf over my bed as well. I kept hitting my head on it by accident. This was forever ago (and by "forever" I mean the mid-to-late 1990s. *sighs*).
Re: something to think about
Yeah, that was really close.
But on the other hand, now you have something to tell to your grandsons in future

Re: something to think about

Has anyone else ever had the same (or similar) setup to Jack?

I know someone who has the exact same setup. You know, I always wonder when I'm sitting under a fan just how heavy that big piece of metal is...

Re: something to think about
Well, if the force was enough to rip a lamp out of your wall then it would have hit you pretty hard on the head, and apparently if you sleep within two hours of getting hit on the head you can go into some kind of coma (I do not know for certain but perhaps someone else might).

I've about wondered stuff like this all the time!

Re: something to think about
I used to have a reading lamp in my old flat where I lived. Happened that it fell on my bed when I was reading But it was a safe lamp.Anthroguy101 wrote:I... also had a reading lamp

Now we're waiting for our new house to be finished. But this time I don't want to have a reading lamp above my head when I sleep. I plan to make a special sofa for reading, with an old and fancy lamp stading nearby.

Re: something to think about
I actually know you can survive that since my brother was hit by the content of his bookshelf in sleep.
The cat climbed around on it and tried to assassinate him :/

My cat Gobi was quite a smart one.
I wouldn´t put it past her that she did it to wake him up.

To have it short: My brother slept, my cat was hungry.Medli wrote:I actually know you can survive that since my brother was hit by the content of his bookshelf in sleep.

So she entered his room, climbed around on the bookshelf over his head and threw down all the heavy books.
Luckily he wasn´t hurt
