Absolutely, but it was a different time

Look what happened to the actors in silent films
* Harold Lloyd lost the thumb and index finger of his right hand when a real bomb was mistaken for a prop
* In 'Sherlock Jr', Buster Keaton had a accident which resulted in a fractured neck, although it wasn't discovered until a routine check-up 11 years later
* Three people died and another lost a leg during the flood scene in 'Noah's Ark'

Health and safety hadn't been invented then!
