Summary

Description
English: Stapp hits the brakes, hard. The white sheeting in the background obscures the brake stand, and was apparently intended to produce better high speed films of the tests. For whatever reason, Stapp decided not to wear a helmet for this run. Other details worth noting: he is wearing shorts and a t-shirt, and has a high-speed camera checkerboard painted on his knee.
