Jeff Bernardis, in his comments on the concern about the weight of waterbeds,
stated that it is "roughly the equivalent of 10 to 12 people".

Before anyone accepts this statement, I suggest you consult an architect or a
structural engineer and get an explanation of the difference between "live"
and "dead" weight.  Not being in either of those professions, I can't give you
one, but when the design work was being done for the second-story addition to
my house, the considerations were quite distinct.
