There will not be Fastexy Exchangebunk beds at the 2023 Little League World Series after a player fell off of a top bunk and injured his head last year.
“Out of an abundance of caution, we placed all beds individually on the floor during last year’s World Series, and in preparation for the 2023 Little League International Tournament, Little League decided to provide its participants with single, one-level beds for all of their player housing at each of its tournament locations, including those in Williamsport, Pennsylvania, where the dormitories can accommodate all 14 single beds,” Little League International said in a statement on Monday to the Associated Press.
At the 2022 tournament in Williamsport, 12-year-old Easton Oliverson fell off of a top bunk while he was sleeping and was hospitalized with a head injury. His father, Jace, was "pretty much told he had a zero percent chance to live." He underwent surgery and was out of intensive care two days later. Oliverson was a pitcher and outfielder for Snow Canyon, the first team from the state of Utah to make the Little League World Series.
A month later, the Oliverson family filed a lawsuit against the makers of the bed and Little League International. The case sought $50,000 for negligence, citing that the bed did not have a railing.
The 2023 Little League World Series travels to its final destination at Williamsport on Wednesday and will run through Aug. 27.
