I had a big black eye the next day to show for it, too! hahaha. Every year someone would roll off the bunks....no one got hurt that I recall but it might be a deterrent for your DD.

I still chose the top every year so it didn't deter me much. The top is fun!

Uh, weren't there railings? I've never seen a top bunk without a railing.

Not even n the 70s.

Uh, have you ever seen bunk beds outside of an IKEA or a PBK catalog? Summer camp is bare bones. No crib rails.

No railings at my DD's camp either. She prefers the top bunk (and has never fallen off, at least not that she's mentioned to me!)
