  As a former manager of a waterbed store I have many an amusing tale
concerning waterbeds and their safety. One comes from an employee who
was sleeping blissfully one night when a drunk drove his car through her
bedroom wall and into her waterbed. The splintered frame punctured both
the matress and the liner and a flood did ensue but it was a small price to
pay for her LIFE. The waterbed and frame absorbed the impact.

  Another story was from a newpaper article I read where a burglar went 
berserk and, not content with just robbing the place, proceeded to slash
the waterbed. He neglected however, to damage the liner which sucessfully
prevented major water damage.
