This used to be a picnic table / myLot

Staten Island, New York

September 2, 2026 4:23pm CST

My mom and I and two of her friends were in Newburgh, NY. They decided to sit down at one of the picnic tables. I joined them a few minutes later. As I was about to sit down the entire table collapsed. I don’t remember about my mom but parts of the table were on top of the two friends’ legs. I was able to help lift the table off of the friends. Thankfully, no one was hurt. It made for a memorable moment though. And at one point we started cracking up. I tried to upload a picture of the picnic table but it doesn’t appear.

Yeah. I have no idea how it happened. It didn’t look like the wood was rotten or broken when they sat down.

@lovebuglena Odd! My friend and I made my picnic table at the cabin in 1990. I have replaced 2 x 4s over the years. It still stands.

I hope no one was hurt. If your picture is larger than 3 mb it won't upload.

I know that but I have no idea how big the picture actually is. I remember being able to choose the size of the upload. Maybe that was on my laptop and not on the phone. I usually mylot from my phone.
