I've seen how people "install" their child's carseat. This must have killed children back when it was used.

Yeah, but back then everyone had multiple backup babies. Nowadays with JIT manufacturing people always have just enough babies, which saves a lot of resources, but in return safety costs increased manyfold.

“Hey boss, we’re having some supply side issues. Looks like Chads R Us has a workers strike for No Nut November. They’re refusing to deliver any product until at least December.”
“Ugh, I guess we can use our fallback vendor. Give Incel Inc. a call. I hate working with them cuz we have to double-check all of their work. But it’ll at least keep things running. Tell our folks that we’re authorizing overtime during the holiday season, so we can have enough women to run QA on Incel’s work.”

By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.

While that may be true, I'd suspect that the non standardized nature of everything back then and the lack of plastic bits and bobs, meant that it likely had to be semi-permanently installed.

and people were actually more used to stuff like that, so they were, figuratively, less retarded. they were used to using their hands and they were aware their actions have consequences, so they were more careful.

as opposed to contemporary mindset of "oh no, i have just fucked up, lets find someone who i can blame for that instead of my own stupidity".

Mmm, nice healthy coal fumes. Marginally better than the constant tobacco smoke and gas hobs inside

So would this instill or prevent a life time fear of heights?

Depends on how strong the wind is.
