Re-enactment #6 These guys must all have felt pretty secure. I'm sure safety measures weren't super high when doing these re-enactments but to my knowledge, nothing ever went wrong. Often at the scene of an accident, my grandfather would ask the police officers to re-enact what had happened, to get a better understanding of how it came to be. This at times resulted in quite absurd and surreal photos.
