This happened to me on a few occasions as a child. I'm not convinced it was a bad thing. Not every potential harmful action should be avoided at all times.
For example, lets say a child eats poison. If you instill the fear of God in them for it, (with explanation) they are much less likely to eat that poison ever. Sure, it's a little PTSDish, but the memory is forever ingrained, and the child is forever safe from not only that poison, but ever wary of any poison.

sounds like you weren't alive during the good years-50's and 60's
