To do that,
he needed an extreme g-force machine. Crewmen fasten Colonel Stapp
in with a network of belts and straps. A rocket sled called the Gee Whiz. Before Stapp, the only guy cleared
to ride on the Gee Whiz: Oscar 8,
the world's first crash test dummy. And this is why. When the Gee Whiz hit the water brake, Oscar hit massive Gs. He sailed through the wooden windscreen, left his face behind,
and came to rest 700 feet downrange. Who'd want that job? Step up Stapp
