Episode 1 Airs Apr 19 Killer Crazes Remember when "everybody's doing it" was reason enough to dive in headfirst? From gravity-defying flagpole sitting and phone booth cramming, to pet skunks and goldfish gulpers, we reveal the wildest crazes that once swept the nation. These over-the-top obsessions were risky, and impossible to resist. It's a jaw-dropping, head-shaking trip back to the fads that pushed the limits and made our hazardous history must-see mayhem. Details Episode 2 Airs Apr 26 Looks That Kill Remember when looking your best meant risking life and limb? From dentures that could explode at the dinner table and stiff shirt collars that strangled us to death, to toxic hair implants and tanning pills that left us glowing orange... Details Episode 3 Airs May 3 Twisted Toys Remember when playtime meant tempting fate? From toy belts that fired speeding projectiles, to high-powered pogo sticks that sent us soaring, to dolls that tried to eat us alive, these perilous playthings were made for kids, but their risks were anything but child's play. It's a mind-blowing, bone-rattling trip through the toys of yesteryear that remind us of a time when childhood was wilder, freer, and far more hazardous. Details Episode 4 Airs May 10 Hell On Wheels Remember when hitting the road meant flirting with disaster? From rumble seats that turned passengers into projectiles, to scorching cigarette lighters built right into the dash, to cars that had a nasty habit of going up in flames, even a simple trip could quickly go south. These are the bright ideas and questionable designs that turned our daily commute into a demolition derby. It's a high-speed, white-knuckle ride back to a time when the rules of the road were still being written. Details Episode 5 Airs May 17 Domestic Dangers Remember when having a modern home meant living on the edge… of danger? From backyard trash fires and waterbeds that turned bedrooms into flood zones, to electric fans that snatched fingers and garden hoses that served up toxic sips of water, domestic life was full of hidden peril. These are the familiar fixes and convenient comforts that turned out to be far from safe. It's a hair-raising, eye-opening trip back to the homegrown hazards that will make you wonder… what were we thinking? Details Episode 6 Airs May 31 Thrills & Spills Remember when we would do just about anything for an adrenaline fix? From racing cars at the "Murderdrome," to high diving on horseback, to cutting our teeth on looping water slides, we revisit the wildest ways people once chased a thrill. These death-defying stunts and gravity-pushing spectacles didn't always stick the landing - but that didn't stop anyone from trying. It's a heart-pumping jolt back to a time when a big rush was worth a little spill. Details
