History

Remember when having a modern home meant living on the edge of danger?; from backyard trash fires and waterbeds that turn bedrooms into flood zones, to electric fans that snatch fingers and garden hoses that serve up toxic sips of water, domestic life is full of hidden peril; these are the familiar fixes and convenient comforts that turn out to be far from safe; it's a hair-raising, eye-opening trip back to the homegrown hazards that can make you wonder what are we thinking?

HISTORYCHANNEL

Remember when hitting the road meant flirting with disaster?; from rumble seats that turn passengers into projectiles, to scorching cigarette lighters built right into the dash, to cars that have a habit of going up in flames, even a simple trip can go south; these are the bright ideas and questionable designs that turn people daily commute into a demolition derby; it's a high-speed, white-knuckle ride back to a time when the rules of the road were still being written.

Hell On Wheels

Remember when playtime meant tempting fate?; from toy belts that fire speeding projectiles, to high-powered pogo sticks that send people soaring, to dolls that try to eat people alive, these playthings are made for kids, but their risks are anything but child's play; it's a mind-blowing, bone-rattling trip through the toys of yesteryear that remind people of a time when childhood was wild, free, and hazardous.

Twisted Toys

Remember when looking your best meant risking life and limb?; from dentures that could explode at the dinner table and stiff shirt collars that strangled people to death, to toxic hair implants and tanning pills that left them glowing orange.

Looks That Kill

Remember when "everybody's doing it" was the reason enough to dive in headfirst?; from gravity-defying flagpole sitting and phone booth cramming, to pet skunks and goldfish gulpers, revealing the crazes that are sweeping the nation; these obsessions are risky and impossible to resist; it is a trip back to the fads that push the limits and make hazardous history must-see mayhem.
