Bear Trap Bed	comment	Ah, the bed. A place of security, stability and relaxation where one can sleep your cares awa— SNAP! The bed folds in half like a taco shell, trapping the occupant between the raised head and foot. If you're in a comedy, the only injury will be to your dignity, but if you're in a drama there are no such guarantees. And if it's a horror flick, it can get downright gruesome... A Sub-Trope of Murphy's Bed. See also Bear Trap. A reclining sister trope to Shackle Seat Trap.

Bear Trap Bed / int_1baea640	comment	Gaston Lagaffe: One of Gaston's invention is a switch-operated folding relaxing chair (conveniently next to many other switches that do something else). Before he tested it, he went home, but curiosity got the better of Fantasio and of course, he pressed the wrong switch...

Bear Trap Bed / int_28a89ede	comment	In the film The Wrong Guys, Richard Lewis attempts to set up a cot in a tent which keeps doing this to him. Eventually he ties this "cot from hell" in place, and is finally able to lie down on it. However, then another character actually causes the entire tent to collapse, and we can see the shape of the cot folding up again underneath it, while Richard screams in agony.

When he lands on it, the entire thing folds up and traps him inside, and his team members just walk away while whistling to themselves.

Bear Trap Bed / int_4b882a66	comment	In the TV series St. Elsewhere, Mrs. Hufnagel [a recurring character as a patient] dies as a result of a folding hospital bed folding up on her. While it's overall treated seriously, there's some degree of comedy shown as well: the first person to discover her doesn't take it seriously until she doesn't respond to him, and when he tells some other doctors about the incident afterwards, two of them can't help but chuckle. It's also played with in that, while it certainly didn't help, that wasn't actually what killed her.

Whether he did it deliberately is hard to tell, considering the character is either Obfuscating Stupidity, Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass, or a Bunny-Ears Lawyer.
