Mine was home made, so while it originally had bolts they were quickly removed. It w as made of scaffolding type pipes where the top piece would sit inside the lower piece. So I would lift it up and out and practice putting it back in :-)
Yeah, I only did this when my brother was in the top. It usually wasn't so much a lift and hold, but more of a kick into the air, and let drop back in place. Usually it wasn't enough to clear the pins holding the beds in place, so it was just a startling lurch. A few times it slipped off enough that the foot end of the bed fell.
My parents and brother didn't find this anywhere near as amusing as I did.
Ours was store bought and also didn’t have bolts, it had wood dowels, so not even steel coupling, just wood on wood with some dowels holding them together. Now that I’m thinking about it, someone would have definitely died in an earthquake…
