there are exceptions, but my guess is you would find that most of them were attributable to an existing health issue in the adult.
sleeping with baby in bed might truly not be for everybody but it certainly is backed by a long cultural history, and continues to be "the norm" in many parts of the world. the American perspective on the matter is, like many "modern" babycentric opinions, a remnant byproduct of the misogynist 1950s.

I put both of my boys in a bassinet right by the bed. F sleepin in the same bed until they are at least two. You could suffocate them with just an arm over their little face, or the edge of a pillow. I don't know about you guys but most mornings when I wake up, I'm rolled up in the comforter sideways by my wifes feet...and she's had to get up and cover with a throw. Point being your not conscious enough to watch out for a baby when your asleep period. I wouldn't even think about it.
