Yes, that was the case back then. The grandfather of a friend of mine crashed while painting the Rhine bridge of Cologne in the river. He was completely unsecured, of course.
He was seriously injured and was taken to hospital, where the nuns tried to persuade him to sign a will in favor of the Catholic Church. Fortunately, he survived.
