A Collection of nearly 100 Photos of Car Accidents and Wrecks from the 1920's and early 1930's

People have no right to complain. It’s your channel. You make it as you see fit. Your time is appreciated in making these. Very enjoyable, thank you.

[@kensmithgallery4432]

Thank you so much 😀 I appreciate your comment. I have no problem with constructive, thoughtful opinions, but I do turn off those who just complain and will remove ones that are outright negative or mean. I sometimes want to just come back and say something snarky but instead I reflect on one simple fact. I cannot control what others may say or do, but I can control how I respond to them. That's honestly my comfort with keyboard warriors; not letting their comments affect me from producing content :-)

[@ontheroad5317]

Fascinating images! Two things I noticed; people loved to pose with the wreckage, and those early cars just flew all to pieces when they hit something!

Good point! I think the camera was just as fascinating as the wreckage for many of the people..

I wonder how many of these had fatalities, what without seat belts or safety features. Gives me chills!

[@fredrichenning1367]

Seat belts are a relatively new idea. When I installed them in my car in 1961, there was a lot of mockery from people.

[@jamesb.9155]

Fascinating. All these old wrecks were often at much slower speeds than we are capable of today yet they were far more likely to injure and kill since there were no seat belts or airbags, ABS, etc. It's a huge world of difference.

[@kensmithgallery4432]

Great observation!

[@neergewleinad]

I was thinking the same thing -- how could so much damage be done when these cars didn't go very fast? The Model T had a top speed of 40-45 mph, and probably was rarely driven that fast.

These were fun -- and scary -- to see. I recognized several locations in Boston in just the first few minutes. The town and its drivers haven't changed very much in 100 years! The cars nowadays certainly hold up better in a collision, and the guard rails around water seem much better now. I don't remember seeing many cars being fished out of the harbor or the Charles in my 35 years there.

Even that 'A' with a stronger after market TCI frame, know that the body is only held to that frame fab with about 8 to 10 3/8" grade 8 bolts. With reinforcing gussets and plates and significant body strengthening know that it's no match for a late model car or 5-8000 pound pickup truck.

Many of those must have resulted in serious injuries or even death, concidering that they had no belt or basically any safety features back then. Also surprising how many ended up in water. This photographer must have been quite a star among the newspaper photographers in his time. Sure wasn't easy to get the message about the accident and then get there fast enough to make the photos.

[@kensmithgallery4432]

[@SuperLittleTyke]

I believe a lot of drivers and passengers on the oldest vehicles went through the windscreen and were fatally lacerated by the non safety glass used back then, even if the force of the crash hadn't already killed them. Ford introduced some form of safety glass in 1927, but it wasn't until 1937 that usage became mandatory.

It's interesting how a lot of the cars look like they've collapsed almost all over from just getting hit in one place.

[@kensmithgallery4432]

Many of these cars were built around a wood cage with metal nailed to them, so it would not take much for them to collapse.

[@ehughes8829]

All the car crashes seem to be catastrophic with life changing injuries for the occupants 😮 Considering that the speed of vehicles was a lot slower than these days then even a crash at 20 or 30 miles an hour would be serious due to no safety features in the vehicles.

[@kensmithgallery4432]
