There was an episode of “Dr G Medical Examiner” where some idiot was doing this, and, as Mr Evilwrench points out, the car hit about 30, the mattress became airborne, and, well, Dr G doesn’t see live patients, does she?
Stupid, stupid, stupid! A fellow here in town did this on the freeway, with his teenage daughter holding the mattress down in the back of his pickup. She lived, but had to have massive plastic surgery to replace the skin and tissue ground off her face when she landed.
This is a perfectly normal way to move a mattress safely if you only have about 3 to 5 suburban blocks to go. not sure this works for interstate moves….
And @Arasiam, Hal just wrote his thing phonetically – in what way is that taking it to the “bad place”? Seems to me the world needs to be rid of people who go round saying who the world needs to be rid of.

Yeah, at least they should wrap rope around these kids, so they’ve got some sort of protection. At least tie the ropes around their waists, so that when they fall off, they won’t be lost, cos they’ll be dangling behind the car and you won’t have to look far to find them. Of course, there mightn’t be too much of ‘em left if the driver didn’t think to look for ‘em for a while. Might just be a bloody bit of worn-out rope!
and again. shootgun!
The “Watch for Children” sign brings this full circle.
Watch for Children fallen off vehicles’ roofs.
That is the most amazing thing I have seen all day. And I have seen some amazing things this morning.
I’m not sure that’s to keep the mattress on. I think it might be a new fad like “Ghost Riding”.
Urban Mattress Surfing, perhaps?
This bring a whole new meaning to the phrase ‘Let’s bounce’
“I think he said “were gonna take it to the matresses’ not ‘were gonna take the mattresses to them’, you idiot!”
“Timmy- this is the last time I’m coming to your house for a sleep-over.”
New option from Chevrolet: dual son roof

A kid actually died doing this same thing a couple years ago in Colorado.
The kid in the blue shirt is about to have a real bad day.
Get up to about 30 and that whole thing will lift up and dump them on the pavement. At about 30.
@Mr Evilwrench
Then they really WILL be saying beddie-bye.

I have ALWAYS wanted to move a mattress that way!
[Insert joke about car's suspension here]
That was absolutely brilliant

Now thats what I call a roll-away bed………………….
I guess thats what you get when you want to do some “Car Surfing” but don’t want to scratch the paint
Only a guy would do something this stupid…
outstanding! it actually looks fun.
WTF!! can’t they find some rope to tie the mattress down?
@flichagainstthefire
That’s not true, believe me.
Body surfing in landlocked states.
“Bedknobs and Buicks” – omg funny
and
@chautauqua – kudos
and
@flichagainstthefire – thanks for the vote of confidence but Paddy’s right.

Stupidity is an Equal Opportunity Employer.
@dono1, @chautauqua
Love you comments!
Where’s the duct tape? (If it moves when it shouldn’t, use duct tape!)
Arghhh, I thought faster than I typed:
Correct statement:
@dono1, @chautuaqua
Love your comments!
Now back to your regularly scheduled comments…

I think they are trying to get “the lay of the land”
@dono1

@RJ

#shoves rope up shirt# ‘how about me a jack lie on top and hold the window frames??’

You are the only one out of 50 comments to take it to the “bad place”. The world needs to be rid of people like you!
[...] guys? Just so we’re clear, this post wasn’t a challenge. Or some sort of reverse psychology to make you prove how manly you are. [...]
I liked dono1′s “dual son roof”.

SO MUCH FOR ROPE

Oh yeah, dono1′s “dual son roof” was a very clever remark!
The components necessary to making an adolescent human cost about 87 cents. $1.74 is cheaper than $3.95 for a roll of twine.
How lame!
“yo dawg, i heard you like sleeping”

I’m jumping on this “shotgun” bandwagon!
1. Sleep on the go. 2. The ultimate shock absorbers.
