00:00It sucks to be old.
00:11This is sad.
00:14What?
00:15What?
00:15What?
00:16Oh, no.
00:17An Illinois grandmother got trapped in her sleep number bed.
00:30Oh, sleep number bed?
00:32I was told those were good.
00:34Holy smokes.
00:35How do you get stuck in there?
00:37It's tight enough.
00:38What's happened?
00:40Five.
00:41Oh.
00:42Seven.
00:43Seven.
00:44Oh, my God.
00:45Oh, no.
00:47Die.
00:49Die.
00:50Your leg's just out.
00:51I just see your leg.
00:52There it goes.
00:55It's twisted around now.
00:58What does that happen?
01:03I better call somebody.
01:07This is bad.
01:08I think she had.
01:08There's a noise.
01:09Oh, that death rattle.
01:11That's a death rattle.
01:13Oh, yeah.
01:13She died.
01:14Did she?
01:15Yeah.
01:15Oh, my God.
01:16Oh, my God.
01:17That's crazy.
01:17She was sleep numbered to death.
01:20Sleep number?
01:21I thought that was just the one where it's hard or firm.
01:23It was so firm, it killed me.
01:25I've got the one that goes up and down.
01:27I hope I can't get trapped in there.
01:29I thought that was called something else.
01:31I thought the sleep number.
01:31Well, like a crap-matic adjustable?
01:33Yeah.
01:34Crap-matic adjustable.
01:35Yeah.
01:35Sleep number, I guess it could have.
01:37Ow!
01:38That was a tough one.
01:39Ah!
01:40It started going a little too fast.
01:44Those things are pretty slow.
01:45That one sounded like it folded right up.
01:48It's like a drawbridge.
01:52Oh, my God.
01:53Oh, that's nothing.
01:55I mean, I don't understand it.
01:58Aren't the gears?
01:59I'll explain.
01:59Let me explain here.
02:01Okay.
02:01An Illinois grandmother tragically died after she got trapped by her malfunctioning sleep
02:08number bed.
02:08Malfunctioning.
02:09For two whole days.
02:11Oh, my God.
02:11Oh, so it snapped her up, huh?
02:14What?
02:14This tragedy unfolded when Rosalind Roz Walker's mattress suddenly lowered itself without warning,
02:22pinning the 80-year-old against the wall.
02:25Oh, my God.
02:25I'm trying to imagine how that is.
02:27Okay, so the bed is up.
02:28She gets behind it, behind the wall, and then all of a sudden it just starts going back.
02:33And she's like, no.
02:34No, she was in the bed.
02:35What?
02:35She was in the bed.
02:36Wait a minute.
02:36When this happened.
02:38What?
02:38I know, dude.
02:41There she is there.
02:42No.
02:43She wasn't freed until over 48 hours later when emergency crews responded to her home and
02:51rushed her to a nearby hospital.
02:53Did it launch her down?
02:54We have to see how this works.
02:56We'll look up a video.
02:56Yeah, we will.
02:57Yeah, we will.
02:58The elderly woman who was treated for unspecified injuries later passed.
03:03Her daughter has now slapped the company with a lawsuit alleging that effective sleep number
03:11bed is to blame for her death.
03:15I honestly thought the sleep number was just like the heart.
03:18Firm or soft.
03:19I like it firm.
03:20You like it soft.
03:20Exactly.
03:21For couples that can't agree on there.
03:23That's what I thought it was, too.
03:24Like the craft.
03:25I get the craft-momatic bed or whatever it is.
03:28Yeah.
03:28Like craft-matic, yeah.
03:29Yeah, bending you up.
03:31Yeah.
03:31And pinning you.
03:32She must have had the bed up against a wall or something, and then it like deflated on
03:37one side, tipped her, and then re-inflated or something, and then she's pinned.
03:43That's crazy.
03:44So the suit alleges sleep number and the bed's manufacturer did not have adequate instructions
03:49or cautionary language in the instructions around the bed, alerting people that they could
03:56get trapped.
03:58The bed also didn't have a release mechanism that would have allowed the grandmother to
04:01free herself.
04:02What?
04:04Where are we getting trapped?
04:06The suit alleges that a malfunctioning adjustable base was a contributing factor in her death.
04:13So they sell not only the firmness part, but also the adjustable base.
04:19Oh, okay.
04:20Yeah, I mean, I have that.
04:23It was one of the things they were like, throw it in at the end.
04:26I never, ever touch it.
04:27I don't have that.
04:28I never touch it.
04:29What a waste.
04:30Oh, you don't adjust yourself?
04:31Never.
04:32Never.
04:33No need.
04:34I don't sit in-
04:35I love the Tempur-Pedic, though.
04:36I do, too.
04:37Yeah, me, too, but I don't watch TV sitting in bed.
04:43I have been in so many beds lately.
04:46Why?
04:47Oh.
04:47What are you up to?
04:48Because of your house drama.
04:49You're up to mattress shopping.
04:51Oh.
04:52I've been in so many-
04:54I'm honestly, I feel like Goldilocks.
04:57Get it right.
04:58Oh, too firm.
04:58Oh, too soft.
04:59Oh, too cushy.
05:00Well, when you screw up, it's bad.
05:02Yeah.
05:02I think I found the one.
05:04I have now.
05:04How do I need to get the exact bed I have now?
05:06I love it.
05:06I don't know.
05:07I don't want to let it go.
05:08Yeah, so they do have, like, I'm just watching you.
05:11Is this the number one?
05:12This is the sound of a lady dying.
05:15Oh, so it's at two.
05:16It's got double basses.
05:17This is the same as mine.
05:20And mine is double basses like this, but then they're-
05:24Oh, my God.
05:24It's just a couple.
05:25Is this what she had?
05:26Yeah, like, see all the gears.
05:27There's a lot going on.
05:28Oh, my God.
05:28There's hydraulics.
05:30They're too happy to be putting a bed together.
05:32Yeah, they're not.
05:33It's not real.
05:33They're not.
05:34They don't love each other.
05:35Yeah.
05:38You're right.
05:38They'd be fighting by now if it was legit.
05:41How did she get trapped?
05:43I don't get it.
05:43I don't understand.
05:44I don't either.
05:45I bet the sleep number people are like, what?
05:48Oh, yeah.
05:48They're like, how?
05:49I was trying to clean behind it, and then it went down.
05:53Yeah, they do.
05:54They do have versions that move up and down, as you see here, but I don't know.
05:58Maybe the bottom part caved down, and she got pushed up against-
06:02It says she was trapped against the wall in the bed.
06:05Right.
06:05So there, the only way to really get trapped is if you somehow fell over the head, and it
06:10came down and pinned you or whatever, but-
06:14I don't know how this woman died.
06:15I don't know.
06:16I love it.
06:16You're listening to the sounds of an old lady dying.
06:18Yeah.
06:19I'm Dave and Chuck the Freak.
06:20Help.
06:20Somebody help.
06:23Lovely music, but help.
06:24Help.
06:25All I hear is the music from all of the garden.
06:27I'll take the breadsticks.
06:30Yeah, she starts having hallucinations.
06:34I'll have breadsticks.
06:37What's your soup of the day?
06:39I really love soup.
06:42What's your soup of the day?
06:44I'll take that.
06:46Oh, yeah, minestrone.
06:47I love that.
06:50The bread, I get as many as I want.
06:54It's really starting to become hard to breathe.
06:56Oh, wow.
07:02Oh, Roz.
07:04Oh, oh, death rattle.
07:06Death rattle.
07:06Yeah.
07:07It happens.
07:09I mean, I'm sorry, but this installation process, the best thing I ever did, apparently, was
07:14have them put it together.
07:17You have to.
07:17You got to have, like, pumps and air chambers.
07:20Oh, no.
07:20That's too much, man.
07:21That's crazy.
07:22There's, like, exposed wires.
07:24It might be the most dangerous bed.
07:25Oh, man.
07:27Oh, Roz.
07:28Yeah, you think you don't.
07:30Okay.
07:31None of us think our bed's going to kill us.
07:35No.
07:35No, absolutely not.
07:36Our bed's going to kill us.
07:37In fact, how many worldwide deaths have been caused by beds?
07:40Probably more than you'd expect.
07:41Yeah, it's probably, it is probably alarming.
07:45There's a lot of, you know, devices on beds now.
07:48Yes, yeah.
07:49You know?
07:49And I don't go under there to mess around, like, where all those gears and everything
07:53are.
07:54I stay away from all that.
07:55I think the deadliest beds were those wall beds from, like, the 70s.
07:58Yes, they still sell those.
08:00Do they?
08:00What do you mean?
08:01Which one are they?
08:01The beds that go up into the wall.
08:03Oh, they're huge.
08:05Yeah.
08:05They sell a ton.
08:06I think they sell now more than ever because people are looking for, like, space-saving
08:09beds.
08:09Yeah.
08:10The tiny homes that you like, I bet there are a lot of that in the tiny homes.
08:15Yeah.
08:15But, yeah, they used to have no safety.
08:18Like, it would just, every once in a while, they'd shoot you right up into that wall.
08:22Like, you were just pancaked in there.
08:25And no one saw you.
08:26They were like, yeah, we looked everywhere.
08:28We couldn't find them.
08:29Help.
08:30Yeah.
08:30Couldn't find them.
08:31I think this is too fancy of a bed for an old lady.
08:34Like, it's too technical.
08:35Yeah, it's too much.
08:36That's their main market, though.
08:38Old folks love that stuff.
08:39Yeah, and they love being able to, oh, I need my legs up a bit.
08:46Oh, my God, that's good.
08:48Yeah.
08:49Yeah.
08:50Yeah.
08:52Oh.
08:54I mean, that sucks.
09:00No, it's not how you'd want to go.
09:02No.
09:0340 over 48 hours.
09:05Get trapped.
09:06Mmm.
09:06Mmm.
09:07Mmm.
