Open platform buses, such as the RT.

Like we all did my mate jumped off the platform just before the bus stopped. Being a nobber he mis-timed it and managed to fly sideways into the bus stop. Cue an arm broken in two places. We all thought it was hilarious.
So did the conductor who just dinged the bell and sailed off down the road laughing.

A caring society the 1960's.

And 15 years later that little twerp headed up some investment banking division and brought the Western world to its financial knees with his "it's not all work, work, work" casino style dealings. GRRR, she should have pushed him in the river at the end...
