I still have difficulty crossing rail tracks on foot after that film.
Same period was "Apaches" (farm safety), in which 10 children are killed one by one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H3yyKFaq-aw
There was a definite change in the wind in the 80s. Oddly I remember feeling that the newer, pastel coloured 80s offerings were a bit weak. I'd grown to quite like being terrified. Around 1979 our teachers showed us a public safety film, called 'Apaches'. I was about 8 years old, at primary school. It was a film chronicling the gruesome deaths of a group of children who were playing on a farm. It genuinely traumatised me well into my teenage years, it was really bad, and showing it to kids would be unthinkable today. Anyone else remember it? :-)
If you grew up anywhere rural in the late 70s/early 80s there is one public information film you never forget: Apaches https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P0GyRz_lOQA
Over the course about 20 mins 6 kids playing on a farm are dispatched by falling into slurry pits, drinking chemicals and getting run over by tractors.
