Afraid of top bed without fence

In one Albergue the Hospitalero's were arbiterally assigning anyone under 30 top bunks. I have no idea how common a practice that is.

Just an observation, only women have contributed in this thread, is it a feminine thing to not like the top bunk without a fence.. or is it not masculine enough to admit it.. In an ideal world I would become a Spanish citizen and protest to ban this, we protect our children with bicycle helmets and god knows what, but we find ourselves being able to fall a meter and a half to the floor while sleeping?

While it seems scary, it’s the same as sleeping in the bottom bunk space wise. So ask yourself, how often do you fall out of bed usually?!?! My guess is never, so the fact that you are elevated five feet up does not increase that risk. It’s purely in one’s mind.

I’m assuming that the OP has a form of phobia regarding the top bunk. As such it is unlikely to be affected by rational argument. We all have our forms of “unreason.” I hope she manages to resolve the issue. I’m sure most people, presented with a reasonable request, would accommodate her by swapping should that be necessary.
