I actually checked on why waterbeds fell out of favor. I guess it wasn't insurance related; rather, it was new, high quality mattresses becoming available that equaled the comfort of water beds without the pain in the ass of dealing with waterbeds. So they basically went the way of the 8-track and gigantic tube TVs.
I remember when we moved into our current home in 2001, we purchased both the water bed and one of those huge TVs that felt like it weighed five hundred pounds. IIRC I spent $1,000 on the TV, and five years later I gave it to my next door neighbor in exchange for him helping me move it out of the house.
