Horrifying Photos Showing Outdated Security Measures

With photos From the early 1900s to the 1970s reaching up to; We will follow safety standards, from urban planning and occupational safety to creative parenting.

Although it is not right to evaluate yesterday through “today’s glasses” our rules and safety items So we will see what happens in a life where he is not present. Let us warn you in advance, what you will seeThey lived by chance.The kind that makes you say “.

Let’s start with the traffic that will drive you crazy;

As the calendar shows 1914, there is complete chaos on the streets of Manhattan. “Don’t stay on the pavement.” Before culture, pedestrians dominated the roads. Today, “jaywalking”, which is the term for walking from places where there are no pedestrian crossings without looking around, was a much bigger problem at the beginning of the 20th century.

Even if they just make pedestrians look around a bit horse carriages and automobiles Sharing the same road has increased the extent of the danger even more. The photograph, taken in 1917 in Campus Martius, one of Detroit’s lively streets, reveals the chaos.

When placing trams the danger of boarding and boarding of passengers Although we do not know if they took this into account, the Woodward, Michigan streetcar, with vehicle traffic passing on both sides, did not seem safe at all in the 1920s.

One of the developments, such as lane markings, that is difficult to imagine when they did not exist is traffic lights.

In times when traffic lights were not yet widespread, traffic police used them to ensure the safe passage of vehicles. They were standing on the road.

In our country too mortise These areas, as we know them, have been in use for decades in various parts of the world. As an interesting information; The concepts of getting out of control and being out of control were in our lives long before the traffic police. So the common information on the internet is not true.

One more information; The first traffic lights were produced in London for railways, approximately forty years before the production of automobiles. William Potts, who lived in Detroit, the city where automobiles were born, was the first three-light traffic sign designed and reduced accidents with the effect of yellow light.

The days when building parks was “child’s play”;

Relying on tiny arms and legs fast and uncontrolled the parks of 1924, when the movements took place; Let alone the additions made for safety, it contained nothing to sit on or stay in the toy without flying.

Children learn by falling, but playgrounds learn from falls and damage. to minimize It’s not wrong for us to want that.

“I need to fly as soon as possible, there is no need for safety.”

This very elaborate and elegant invention was made in 1908 and could not fly. Although it does not take off, while it is being made security is forgotten We can understand from every point.

The French multi-winged “Marquis” could not fly and told us; imaginary “walking plane” It reminds me of the young person who wants to do it.

Fast and fearless;

A view from the race held on 13 May 1933 in Donington Park (England), which has still been the scene of races since its opening in 1931. Even though the security measures have changed, the adrenaline that has not changed since then is the driver B. Sparrow’s in his sharp maneuver we can see.

We see the Austin 7 team at Brooklands in 1937. The vehicle’s thin tires make the turns uncontrollable, without doors and most likely without belts We understand from his appearance that he is preparing for the race.

We don’t want to think about what comes after the photo.

Although this equipment, which we do not know who invented, does not separate the couples, it scares our hearts out. With her babies in 1937 ice skating We hope that the couple, who had such an interesting idea, kept their babies safe after the photo.

When the details of the child seat requirement are not specified;

Families who do not want to let their babies out of their sight, such as while ice skating, while driving There are many seat designs that can be used.

One of these designs that we don’t need to explain how dangerous they are. the first in 1933 It was released by the Bunny Bear Company and variations of it continued to be used for years.

If we hear the sentence “In the back seat and the seat belt is on” alone, it would mean that the car seats we use today for our children were not produced in the years before they were produced. We could see this as a reassuring development.

Marketed with the slogan “Safety for children” and the opportunity to stand up and be free The familiar “seat belt” does not leave us with much to say.

When we manage not to put our child in the seat of the vehicle and move him to a separate seat, we realize that there are still huge shortcomings in 1958. to the vehicle not affiliated in any way It’s the driver’s arm and a little luck that keeps this second seat in place.

Did you say fear of heights?

Nothing in the photos Fear and safety are not visible. These photos, which look like they were taken in a studio in front of a green screen, are real. We see people visiting the Snow King chairlifts from the 1950s to the 1970s.

Although the perspective of the photograph is deliberately high in order to capture the view, there is no iron bar or lack of security It’s enough to scare us. Snow King, which is still one of the preferred facilities for winter sports and tourism today, has been serving in Jackson, Wyoming, since 1936.

What were you doing there? 🙁

A-bro, that statement wasn’t like that;

“Don’t give me a fish, teach me how to fish.”; no no, you are the best for me with a fishing rod teach me how to swim.

For some unknown reason, parents teaching their children to swim in the 1930s security measures They used these fishing rods, which we think are fish.

Job security? Try acrobatics.

On December 3, 1915 Brooklyn Bridge connections workers painting. The photograph, taken from the New York City Municipal Archives, was taken by Eugene de Salignac and waited for years to come to light.

Famous lunch break;

One of the most famous and unsecured photographs of the time “Lunch on top of a Skyscraper”Photographed by Charles Clyde Ebbets on September 20, 1932.

Even though 11 workers had no safety measures Their brave and calm appearance, Although it was normal in those years, it is a scene we would never want to encounter today.

While photographing this immortal moment, master photographer Ebbets was reflected in another photographer’s lens; apparently photography It was as dangerous as iron work.

Dozens of iterations of the lunch have been created to date. If these digitally created images are not enough for you without taking the same risk, you can watch the images placed on the roof of Rockefeller Center. navigation anchor You can choose.

Avoid accidents when there is no security avoid taking damage, is left to chance. In areas and objects where the risk of accidents cannot be measured by various tests, as a result of accidents Precautions have started to be taken. We wish you safe and healthy days with lots of precautions.
