INJURED WOMAN CLAIMS CATAPULTED OUT OF BED DURING SEX

A woman left paralyzed after being “catapulted” from her bed while having sex is suing the manufacturer. Claire Busby suffered life-changing damage to her spine after she toppled off the end of what she calls a “defective” bed while switching positions during sex. She is suing the Berkshire Bed Company. The bed was one of five delivered to Ms Busby’s home in August 2013. It was a week after the bed was delivered and assembled when, she told the court, she was kneeling in the middle of the bed performing a sexual act on her partner when she decided to change position and “swung her legs” from underneath her, before laying back on the bed. At that point, she said the bed gave way and she fell off the end, landing on her head. “I felt like I was “catapulted off the back of the bed,” Ms Busby told the court. “My head hit the floor, I fell to the side and then I heard like a spring in my body snap.” Ms Busby claims the two halves of the bed, which made up the base, were not properly fastened together and two “gliders” – or feet – were missing from the end of the bed, creating a height difference between one end and the other. Berkshire Bed Company denies culpability, claims the bed was properly assembled and says more likely she was too close to the edge of the bed and she simply lost balance and toppled backwards.”
* Catapultis interruptus.
* It was… just… one of those flings.
* I keep picturing Wile E. Coyote and a bed from the Acme Corporation.
