Yes, but I've never seen a water bed spring a leak that could cause a flood.
Mostly they just ooze and make the bed soggy.

The times I've seen leaks are do to punctures, not load.  One of the water
bed stores in College Park drove a pick-up truck on top of a mattress to
prove the point.  I would suspect, and most of the stories I've heard about
it, that the time which catastrophic leaking occurs is during filling.
