- Summary: 1. GV & SV Dummies undergoing test (3 shots) 0.16 2. SV Male volunteer being strapped to seat (3 shots) 0.29 3. GV Volunteer responding to test (3 shots) 0.38 4. SV Technicians & doctors at laboratory recording results of test (4 shots) 0.54 5. GV Volunteer in test 1.00 (TRANSCRIPT) "The effects of rapid acceleration changes on humans were determined until very recently from tests using mannequins. But mannequins, the fabricated objects they are, don't respond to great stresses as do humans. Scientists here hope to acquire data on five thousand high-acceleration change experiments on live subjects. Testing has progressed to a force of 15-G, it approximates the force of a car crashing into a bridge abutment at forty miles per hour. Added to the list of the priorities is the safety of the subject. Doctors monitor vital signs throughout testing. A number of the abort systems are on standby. The volunteer on the sled even has the ability to call off the experiment. Tests are expected to go up to as high as thirty to thirty-five Gs approaching the limits of human toleration. This is Larry Lunaford reporting from New Orleans." Initials BJB/0300 BJB/0320 TELERECORDING This film includes a commentary by TVN reporter Larry Lunsford. Script is copyright Reuters Limited.
