Hi,

We have our own bed of nails here at Science North that we also build and
sell to customers. It is always open to visitors regardless of whether it
is staffed or not. We have not encountered any problems with it as the
hydraulic design makes it very safe and easy to use. Visitors who are
uncomfortable can get off quickly by just releasing the button that brings
up the nails. It has remained a visitor favourite for many years for us
and a great photo op as well! 

If you are interested in findind out more about our bed of nails check it
out our exhibit sales webpage:

Regards, 
Simon
