What great times/dangerous things did you do back then?
I did have a hat on though, my Mum insisted on me being "safe" !
I always wore a hat but I went for miles on our ponies with my friends and my mother rarely knew where I was.
Yes - we were just "up the farm for the day" getting picked up at 5pm or something
Bringing ponies back to the riding stables from their fields ( they had 2 days off each week on full turn out ) - riding one bareback with a headcollar, leading 2 or 3 from each side, taking up the entire road. Luckily it was so early in the morning that the sparrows hadn't started farting yet, so there were no cars around.

The hat I had in the 70s always fell off before I hit the ground - this was before they introduced those chinstraps you could put on your hat as an extra.
Complete ditto! Were you in East Sussex?!
As for dangerous well jumps seemed a heck of a lot higher back then, I remember jumping benches and small-ish picnic tables on the common on ponies and even the local show had classes starting at 2'9
