This one is too interesting not to share. Brakes? Forget about it. "The pedestrian catcher, also known as the safety scoop and the car catcher, this device was designed to bring pedestrian deaths to a permanent halt. “This Roller Safety Device Sweeps Away Fallen Pedestrian,” declared a triumphant Modern Mechanix headline in 1931, elaborating that it “will literally sweep a fallen pedestrian before it and thus save him from being crushed to almost certain death beneath the heavy wheels.”" | Ace D

At the time, road accidents were rapidly increasing as cars became more common in cities. Early automobile design had focused primarily on protecting the vehicle
