Woman Becomes Quadriplegic After Hammock Accident

Erin Field warms against hammocks after an accident involving one left her quadriplegic. On the day of the accident in 2017, she was with a boy she'd just started dating. They both sat in a hammock, and a chimney collapsed and fell on her, leaving the 28-year-old paralyzed from the chest down. Now she uses social media to spread awareness about quadriplegia and to warn people of the dangers that can come with using a hammock. "I need to start making people more aware," she told Inside Edition Digital's Andrea Swindall.
