Or, let’s run the chimps on the rocket sled at supersonic speed to see what happens to them:
“Stapp, J. P., J. D. Mosely, &C. F. Lombard 1962 “MEGABOOM” LINEAR WINDBLAST
TESTS ON SUBJECTS AND PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT. (Northrop Space Laboratories,
Hawthorne, Calif.) Contract AF 41(657)405, Proj. No. 7930; NSL 62-52;
15 March 1962
ABSTRACT: Rocket sled experiments exposed five chimpanzees and one dummy to windblast up to Mach 1.68. Standard restraints and garments proved inadequate and extensive injuries established the need for improvement. Stagnation pressures up to 42 psi resulted in injuries from violent displacements within inadequate restraints. Stagnation temperature up to 424 degrees F caused second degree burns to exposed body surface. High velocity air penetrated wounds and body apertures, causing extensive trauma. Experimental restraints and garments proved adequate for stagnation pressure of 36 psi and temperature of 336 degrees”
Pat;
Yup, and while they were all blissfully unconcious during the experiment when Dr. Strapp, J. P. (first author) repeated those exeriments and dozens more testing human responses to acceleration, decelleration, wind-blast and other effects of human exposure to supersonic speeds HE had to remain awake and alert in order to document the effects scientifically :o)
And you can’t say “dysfunctional” without the “fun.”
Or “slaughter” without “laughter.”

Ain’t science fun!
