Ok so the sofa pull down bed actually detached from the wall. I was unsure as I knew a 5th sleeper unit detached from the wall as well, but I can defiantly see why they pulled them out of service abruptly. Those are big pieces of furniture and I would not want to have them falling on me in the middle of the night. Hopefully they can find a way to adequately attach these to the wall with some built in redundancy instead of relying on one set of anchor points. I see they pulled these type of beds out of service at SSR that were recently installed as part of the ongoing refurb to look them over as well.In the case of the bed that collapsed, the story I read was that the frame came off the wall and pinned the (adult) guest on the mattress underneath it. It was heavy, and took two adults to lift it off her. She wasn't much physically injured, just shook up, but imagine if that were a solo guest sleeping in a tower studio. I agree that this is definitely a risk-mgmt issue. The frames will end up double-anchored to the walls, just in case, but it will take a bit of time to get them all done.
Thank goodness nobody was hurt in these incidents.
