Yes, those were the days.
From the back ofFlying Safety Spotlight 1/80
1979 Major accidents caused
2fatalities
3 seriously injured
4 aircraft destroyed
2 Aircraft seriously damaged
Our statistics indicate there will be 3 fatalities and 8 major accidents in 1980.

I guess a few people missed the edge

If you want the stats google "Attitudes to safety and organisational culture in Australian Military Aviation" by B.T. Falconer. Page 30 has a sobering graph. I found it in my search for the elusive safety poster just now, never heard of it before.
