Yeah, what, no video of this like the Segway incident?

I noticed once that my really tall bed looked like it was breaking. One of the pieces of wood was cracked and a metal brace was about to fall out.

To test it's stability, I decided to sit on it and bounce a bit.

Yeah.

It broke. Dropped me to the ground.

I hurt my back so badly that I couldn't even tie my own shoes for a week.

Having to have Erin tie my shoes in the grocery store while I barely hobbled up and down the aisles was a bit embarrassing.

This sounds like a job for Sandy! :) Let's be grateful you didn't get hurt.

Hammocks are the best. I bought one in Costa Rica but haven't found the spot to hang it up yet. I think I might have to go back to Costa Rica, I found a good spot there.
