Waterbed Mattress Safety
Do you know that it isn’t advisable to have someone else sleep on the floor next to a waterbed mattress? Accordingly, this practice is unsafe as possible dangers pose in this type of set-up. What if the mattress suddenly collapses? Similarly, no one should ever attempt to go under a waterbed mattress. Imagine the kind of possible injury one might incur in a situation like this.
Waterbed mattresses are not usually kid friendly. Not especially when they carry around toys with them; or have some kid jump on top of it; or have an infant sleep there. If you have a waterbed mattress in the house, it is best to avoid letting children near the waterbed mattress.
Waterbed mattresses require regular checking and maintenance. When as the last time you did this for yours?

I appreciate the public service awareness of this post; I do however wish that some hard-core statistics had been added to back up what the actual likelihood of such occurrences. Insurance claims, deaths, etc. While you are at it, please post the possibilities of getting hit by an asteroid.
I do not encourage infants on waterbeds but o say a Waterbed is not kid friendly is quite ridiculous, They are actually quite durable, and simply jumping up and down or on top as you say is not going to cause a failure. As a sales demo we often jump on, walk on, and plop on waterbed mattresses to demonstrate how strong they are. Quite frankly they will out perform a mattress and boxspring under the same abuse conditions.
It is precisely this kind of information that gives products undeserved bad names.
