 Trampoline without safety net , no child proofingin homes , second hand smoke and the list is endless ,I remember standing in the back seat of my gramps Packard , no bicycle helmets required then
 Construction even into the 80s had little safety protocols, no work boots , or safety vests , no shirts sneakers were fine dam those were all great days

We used to take trips down south to virginia/north carolina to visit my dads family. Took Rt. 11 all the way back in them days. Drive down overnight, me and my two brothers would sleep in the back. One on the floorboard, one on the seat, and one up in the back window...lol

I have 6 brothers and sisters.
So there were 9 of us in a station wagon.
We used to fight over who got to ride in the “way back”.
3 in the front
3 in the back
And 3 in the “way back”

The great thing about the first item is that it could serve double duty and let you take your kid up into you treestand with you.

What I find funny is that the car harness is also marketed as a walking leash for your kid…. I figured for sure my millennial generation invented leashes for kids, but seems like crazy knows no timeframe.

59 grew up riding in the back of the pickup with hay and grain for horses from the feed store. Drank from a garden hose. Worked in the 80s no safety classes on chainsaw use. How did we ever survive?

All these are great memories of me even growing up in the 90's out here in the wild west, used to ride in the back of the truck all the time on the mountain or out in the Prarie. We took a trip down to the state line and my uncle had a topper with the carpet inserts for the back and we rode in that all the way down and back was a fun trip with my cousins. What a time to live.

Oooo! 1950’s Genesee Beer. Streamside.

The State Cops were running a vehicle safety check that my wife got stopped in. When he looked at my two boys' seatbelted in booster seats in the back seat he had to know where she got them. He called the other troopers to see them. Nothing was said about the severely cracked windshield that I had not gotten around to having replaced.

Man I miss the crazy a?& Sh#& me my brother and friends did as kids!
Fridays after school many times we'd grab sleeping bags some food some matches and fishing stuff  get our bikes and tell our parents we were going to go camp by oatka creek and be back Saturday afternoon...and was never a problem! We'd go to Leroy from pavilion and we'd use the payphone by Western Auto Saturday to tell parents we were on our way home lol

Besides me and 2 friends, anyone else here ever shinny up tall young trees and swing them back and forth until you could touch the ground and get off or until the tree broke (painful option).
Nobody died, just bumps and bruises and torn clothes to explain when you got home

Yup did that too! Think called" skin the cat" I think ...also we had wild grape Vines grow up and between trees like mats we'd climb them and sometimes fall through! Lol one time my brother bending a tree over got about 15 feet above ground and it stopped...only option was to let go lol landed on old rock fence row in woods and sprained both ankle's lol that was hard to explain...but was just another day ! Gone out of house at sunup and mom yelling for us at dinner!!!  :D

I think that we all went to the school of hard knocks, taught us what we could and couldn't do. Gave us common sense which kids are lacking today.

Poor guy 😜

I would have popped a ***** just like I did in the high school pool when we were playing water polo and girl in a bikini grabbed me around the chest to get the ball from me. I let go of the ball before anyone including her noticed.  :rotflol:
