The last clip about fire prevention is very unsettling. That would be a most horrible painful way to die.
I think a lasting impression is left by showing the reality of death.
It may be frightening for children to watch,but it is an excellent means to educate and hopefully prevent avoidable harm/death.
I don't remember ever seeing public safety films like this when I was a child.
Perhaps they were thought to be too scary for American kids?

I deliberately put the gutted house one last as it's the scariest. This is another by the same director - very sardonic:

At the very least, the PSAs get the message across and would make kids second guess themselves so they don't do anything that could cost them their lives. Better to show them a brutal consequence/reality that may come about than conveying something implicitly/subtly that they may overlook that could cost them in the long run.




'The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the human mind to correlate all its contents. We live on a placid island of ignorance in the midst of black seas of infinity, and it was not meant that we should voyage far. The sciences, each straining in its own direction, have hitherto harmed us little; but some day the piercing together of dissociated knowledge will open up such terrifying vistas of reality, and of our frightful position therein, that we shall either go mad from the revelation or flee from the light into the peace and safety of a new dark age.

I don't remember ever seeing any kind of safety films like these. It must be a British thing...very direct, no mincing words. The music and graphics make it scary.
Maybe it is too much for young children?
I can remember seeing commercials about the starving children in Africa, covered with flies...that made me sad.
And this one, the Native American crying about pollution.
Never anything unsettling,like these 1970's British safety films!
