Mother paralyzed after being 'catapulted' off bed while having sex loses lawsuit against bed makers
As she was changing position while having sex on a super king size double divan in her home, 46-year-old Claire Busby from Maidenheard, Berkshire, suffered a pretty serious injury to her spine as she fell off. The mother claimed that the bed was in a "defective state" when the accident occured and even went so far as to take legal action against the Berkshire Bed Company, which was trading as Beds Are Uzzz, looking to get £1million in damages.
Unfortunately for Busby, Judge Barry Cotter threw out the case at the high court after finding out that the bed was "not defective" and that her fall was just a "tragic accident". The Daily Star reported that he described the accident as needing an "unfortunate and unusual combination of positioning on the bed and movement".
