The link below is a film compiled of vintage auto racing accidents from the late ' 20s with Bugattis, Millers, Maserattis, and Bentleys, up through the '30s and '40s dirt tracks, and up to about about 1955, in the case of the Mercedes team at LeMans, and the Jags, Allards and MGs mixing it up after the war. It is about 4 minutes long. No seat belts, roll bars or any other safety equipment.

There is an old saying that "There are old race car drivers, and there are bold race car drivers, but there aren't many old, bold race car drivers." I think this explains why. Before the days of safety devices of any kind.
