Safety consciousness really started only in the 70s. I think Jackie Stewart was a big proponent. He often was accused of being a wimp because real men embrace risking their lives. Then it started picking up more steam in the 80s with carbon fiber chassis and then more in the 90s when Senna died. Rallye stopped the insanity when Henri Toivonen burnt to death.
I feel environmental regulation is going the same path. There is a lot of resistance against improving things just because. Only when something really bad happens, people wake up. But even often nothings happens.
