OK, this is one of my favorite safety videos. I've been using it in accident investigation training for years.
Warning, it's an old cartoon, not really politically correct. Of course, I've never been accused of being PC.
Cartoons, although targeted at old and young alike, have been shaping the attitudes of generations of children and teens. Think about the violence of old Looney Tunes, and that was before more modern cartoons such as Bevis and Butthead, Ren and Stimpy, South Park, etc.
Think about the first time you ran off of a cliff and were surprised that you fell before you looked down...or that time you hung that 1 Ton weight over a pile of birdseed to catch that pesky Roadrunner, only to miss and drop it on your own head. Took more than blowing on your thumb to recover from that, didn't it?
Or the pain of kicking yourself in the testicles, lighting yourself on fire - and your friend Kenny never did come back from the dead the week after he got trampled by that herd of rabid chipmunks - did he?
Wait - you never did any of that stuff? HaHaHa - no really - really? I'm really not the only one am I?
Anyway - watch the damn cartoon...
