Recently, this kind of worry really happened in a university in Guangxi: Xiao Li, a freshman boy, was sitting on the upper bunk in the dormitory playing with his mobile phone. With his back to the bed, he was excited and accidentally fell from the upper berth to the ground. At that time, Xiao Li landed with her head on the ground first and trembled all over. His classmates were scared and called 120. But Xiao Li died after being sent to the hospital for emergency treatment.
Not long ago, a top bunk in zhejiang yuexiu university of foreign languages fell, and a senior girl accidentally fell from her dormitory, and her heart stopped breathing.
After the frequent occurrence of such incidents, many people question whether the fence height of major universities really meets the national regulations and is sufficient to ensure safety.
The minimum height of the national standard guardrail should be 3 cm.
According to Article 4.2 of GB/T 3328-20 16 "Main Dimensions of Furniture Beds", the height of safety guardrail for high and low beds should be greater than (equal to) 30cm, and the height from the top surface of the bed to the guardrail should be greater than 2cm when placing the mattress.
However, after measuring the height of the dormitory guardrail, we found that the height from the surface of the bed board to the guardrail is only 20 cm, which does not meet the minimum standards stipulated by the state at all. After laying a thick mattress in winter, the height of the guardrail is almost submerged by the mattress, and some upper bunks even become "suspended beds".
The height of the guardrail is not up to standard. Is it cutting corners?
However, it is not that the school cut corners, but that the old student beds were not replaced in time under the new regulations of 16.
But even the old standard "People's Republic of China (PRC) and National Standard GB/T 3328- 1997" stipulates that the safety guardrail height of bunk beds should be greater than (equal to) 20 cm, and greater than 38 cm when mattresses are placed. And our student bed is only 2 cm, which meets the minimum standard.
These protective technologies can effectively prevent falling from the upper bunk.
Therefore, for the students stationed in the upper bunk, our existing student beds cannot be effectively replaced in a short time. What can students who are still sleeping in the upper bunk do to better protect themselves and prevent them from falling off the bed? Here are some effective tips for everyone.
Method 1: The anti-fall artifact can be installed on the original upper guardrail to increase the height of the guardrail, or a storage basket or computer desk can be arranged on the bed. Solve the hidden danger from the root.
Method 2: You can build a soft wall with curtains or bedspreads. Be sure to put the bottom edge of the curtain or bedspread under the mattress, which can also prevent you from falling off the bed, even if you can't stop your strong impact, it can also play a buffering role. Method 3: put a big plush toy on the outside of the bed, so that the toy is outside and people are inside, naturally forming a protective wall to prevent it from falling. Finally, in addition to good protection, the daily self-protection awareness of upper bunk students is also very important. Some dangerous behaviors must be avoided. For example, some people like to bend down on the upper bunk to get things on the table, or stretch out on the bed, or pass things with their roommates in the air and fight with each other, which is very easy to lead to gravity imbalance and cause unnecessary tragedies.
If you also have an exclusive anti-fall coup, please leave a message below and share it with everyone!
I slept in the upper bunk when I was in college, and I didn't think there was any problem.
In fact, I was worried about falling at first, but the design of the dormitory was reasonable on the whole, and there was a railing with height on the upper berth that would cross there. When I start to sleep badly at night, I will bump into that railing and wake up. In short, it is best to sleep with your head on the side with the railing.
If you don't think that measure can make you feel safe, you can put an idle quilt outside and sleep in it yourself.
Or in autumn and winter, you can wrap yourself in a quilt and wrap it tightly so that you can't move. After all, the quilt in autumn and winter is heavy, which can limit your big movements. This won't cause any problems.
These are the methods I usually use to sleep in the dormitory. In fact, if you sleep like this for a while, your body will gradually form a habit, and there will be no big turning point.
In high school, a brother who lived in the upper bunk accidentally fell to the ground while sleeping, resulting in a broken arm. The noise made at that time scared all seven of us.
Later, the school raised the bed block in the upper bunk. If the school doesn't take measures, we can raise it ourselves. The simplest thing is to use boards. It is enough to buy a board about the length of our bed, 30 cm wide, and fix it on the bed with iron wire. This has a disadvantage that bunk bed is inconvenient.
Also be careful not to put too much stuff on the bed. Don't pile clothes and puppets on the bed. They took our place in bed directly. My college roommate especially likes to put a lot of things on the bed. After learning, the book is directly under him. He won't fall off when he sleeps, but things on the bed will fall off from time to time, and even two mobile phones have been broken.
If you are active in sleep or have sleepwalking symptoms, you'd better discuss with others and live in the lower berth. I'm a little afraid of heights. I stayed in the upper bunk and didn't move. At that time, I also discussed with others to string it to the lower berth.
