You could what if all day and come up with every terrible thing in the books, but for every poor cat which is hurt in an accident like that, there are 100 others happily playing on their large cat trees and we shouldnt lose sight of that.

It worried me  Tabitha is getting very big for her tree bed and I'm worried that if she rolls off the would very quickly hit the next panel down 
I'm not one for kid gloves either but this is a very possible accident waiting to happen so I moved the bed. What is worrying me the most about this is the extent of Glowworms injurys. It may very well have been a one off but this shows me what's possible and I don't want to risk it.
I'm not worried about her playing on it as she is very agile, but if she rolls of when sleeping she may not have time to recover herself as she is often very 'sleepy' and clumsy when she has had a big sleep.
I'm not saying everyone should get rid of their trees I'm just explaining my decision.
