Always make sure the beds are "locked in" before using them. The beds swivel up for your emergency exit, and too much weight on the back side without locking in might land you on the ground below.
You know, I've heard that story for years and years. And I just can't find any way to make it happen. I've lifted up the front edge of the bed - yes, it lifts, and that is the emergency exit. But the bottom of the bed is supported all the way to the far edge, and cannot drop.

Has anyone actually experienced this? Or is it urban legend?

I got so annoyed with the little red latch that I removed it. I will say, though, that it DOES have a function. But preventing you from falling out is not it.
