dying by getting tangled in bedsheets is not the Main way to die, but its still a way, so we should get rid of bedsheets. if some contrived scenario represents less than 1% of the problem we are discussing, it's not a real problem. there are 8 billion people in the world, and it is always possible to find someone who has done something, no matter how ridiculous.
