I was a kid in the 80's, we had a tv set on a high chest of draws. One day I had the bright idea to turn the chest of draws into a staircase🤦♂️, so I could climb up to the top, to change the tv channel (no remotes in those days). You guessed it my weight toppled the chest of draws and tv onto me! 💥Broke my bones in 3 places in my arm🦴was rushed to hospital. Got a cast and everything. Miraculously the tv didn't break at all, still worked flawlessly for years after. They don't make em like they used to.

I did the staircase thing also in the mid 90s to annoy my parents. I was turning the TV off. I thought it was hilarious 😂 they didn't enjoy it that much. Thankfully I didn't hurt myself but now thinking back, the same could have happened to me. These TVs were working like donkeys! Made to last
