Maidenhead woman 'catapulted' from bed during sex loses damages claim
A woman left paralysed after being "catapulted" from her new bed during sex has lost her damages claim against the supplier.
Claire Busby, of Maidenhead, Berkshire, suffered a serious injury to her spine when she fell from the super king size double divan as she changed position.
The 46-year-old claimed the bed was in a "defective state" at the time of her accident and sued Berkshire Bed Company, trading as Beds Are Uzzz, which supplied it.
But, rejecting her case, Judge Barry Cotter found the bed was "not defective", even taking into account "reasonably foreseeable misuse".
He said: "It required a most unfortunate and unusual combination of positioning on the bed and movement which I do not believe would have been foreseeable by any reasonable person prior to the incident."

Despite feeling sorry for her I had to smile at the articles title. One should always practise safe sex.
