23 Shady Photos You’d Never Expect to See Today

 How’s this for prison break?

This photo was a popular one back in the 50s. It seems as if a man is going on a detached roller coaster or something, but here’s what’s really going on: a prisoner is being used to test safety nets before it proceeded to mass produce! This scene takes place in 1958, where capital punishment was practically everywhere in the United States, so this seems like a fun thing to do for a criminal waiting to hit the chair.
