    Ya think they could of used some roll bars on top , seat belts and crash bars inside.
    Look how old that is. That was before a lot of safety equiptment was putin cars.

    And I bet they didn't have burn suits back then either.

    And I was out trying to do some of them.

    Just the other day some jerk musta called the house 6 times wanting to know if I wanted Viagra - last time I picked up and shouted, "Hello, no! Go away!" I know I was probably yelling to a recording but they didn't call back.
    Anyway, those fellas in the videos not using any safety equipment - they might've thought it was less manly to do all that back then. Men did have different attitudes about stuff like that in those days . . .

    A helmet won't do you much good if you break your neck!
