I agree, some of them were proper scary, nowaays people would probably sue for mental anguish and would die retreiving a Frisbee from a pylon - Ah the irony! ;-)
Those public information films were scary! I remember them showing kids playing on train tracks and climbing up electricity pylons to their deaths! A good mix that nicely trivialises the dangers of drowing! ;-)
Someone made a remix out of Death? Oy gavalt!

they used to show this film on 8mm projectors in the UK round schools in my youth back in the 70's
it was scarier than the danger electricity one.

Donald Pleasance had the perfect voice for it too, deeply scary in a sweaty top lip style way! ;-)

I've seen the original of this ad and this remix is awesome.
They should really re-introduce ads like this now. Anyone else agree?

If modern kids saw that lad drowning they would nick his mobile phone and throw stones at him.
