  • John Paul Stapp, M.D. , Ph.D. , Colonel, USAF (Ret. ) (11 July 1910–13 November 1999) was a career U.S. Air Force officer, USAF flight surgeon and pioneer in studying the effects of acceleration and deceleration forces on humans. He was a colleague and contemporary of Chuck Yeager, and became known as "the fastest man on earth" The Fastest Man Alive. When he began his research in 1947, the aerospace conventional wisdom was a man would suffer fatally around 18 g. Stapp shattered this barrier in the process of his progressive work, experiencing more "peak" g-forces voluntarily than any other human [The most g-forces involuntarily sustained was by Formula One race car driver David Purley, who sustained 179.8 g in 1977 when he decelerated from 107 mph (172 km/h) to 0 in a distance of 26 inches (66 cm) after his throttle got stuck wide open and he hit a wall.]. Stapp suffered repeated and various injuries including broken limbs, ribs, detached retina, and miscellaneous traumas which eventually resulted in lifelong lingering vision problems caused by permanently burst blood vessels in his eyes. In one of his final rocket-propelled rides, Stapp was subjected to 46.2 times the force of gravityhttp://www. ejectionsite. com/stapp. htm. The aeronautical design changes this fundamental research wrought are widespread and hard to quantify, but fundamentally important. Stapp was an inveterate collector of aphorisms and adages, kept a logbook of such, and the practice spread to his entire working group. He published a collection of these in 1992. Stapp, John Paul (1992). For Your Moments of Inertia: From Levity to Gravity: A Treatise Celebrating your Right to Laugh. no publisher. OCLC 33150804. Witty and charismatic and thus popular with the press and his staff, Stapp's team in particular, and its workplace subculture is also the clear originating source for the ubiquitous principle known as Murphy's law. Stapp was its popularizer and probably framed its final form, first using the soon to be widespread term in his first press conference about Project MX981 in the phrase, "We do all of our work in consideration of Murphy's Law" in a nonchalant answer to a reporter. It was his team that, within an adaged-filled subculture, and while using a new device developed by reliability engineering expert Major Edward Murphy, coined the euphemistic phrase and began to use it in the months prior to that press conference. When the unfamiliar "Law" was clarified by a subsequent follow-up question, it soon burst into the press in various diverse publications, and got picked up by commentators and talk programs. His ongoing legacy is still growing: Stapp's life was dedicated to aerospace safety in particular, and safety in general; he was one of the principal advocates of automotive safety belts, and he would work them into press-conference answers over many years and many press conferences. When President Johnson signed the mandatory seat-belt bill into law in 1966, and consumer advocate Ralph Nader stood by his side, much of the decades-long underlying popularization ground work and its supporting research had been laid by J.P. Stapp, who also stood in the room that day only a short distance away.
  • John Paul Stapp, M.D. , Ph.D. , Colonel, USAF war Pionier in der Erforschung der Auswirkungen von Beschleunigungskräften auf den menschlichen Körper. Besonders bemerkenswert sind seine Selbstversuche auf Raketenschlitten, bei denen er sich selbst großen Belastungen aussetzte und mit seinen Ergebnissen zur Sicherheit von Passagieren in Flugzeugen sowie zur Weiterentwicklung von Sicherheitsgurten beitrug, sowie die Stapp Car Crash Conference, eine (nach ihm benannte) noch heute stattfindende Verkehrssicherheitskonferenz. Er war Kollege Chuck Yeagers, der als erster Mensch nachweislich eine Geschwindigkeit von nahezu Mach 1 erreichte und wurde selbst der „Schnellste Mensch auf Erden“.
  • John Paul Stapp (1910-1999) est un colonel de l'US Air Force et un des pionniers sur l'étude des effets des forces d'accélération et de décélération sur le corps humain. Docteur en biophysique, il mena ainsi plusieurs expériences, s'utilisant lui même comme cobaye, démontrant que l'homme pouvait supporter plus de g que ce que la science ne le croyait à l'époque. Stapp a été soumi à 18 fois la force de la gravité (18 g) Il dédia sa vie à l'amélioration de la sécurité aéronautique et de manière plus générale à la sécurité des transports. Il sera ainsi un fervent partisan de l'installation des ceintures de sécurité dans les automobiles.

  • John Paul Stapp,, Ph. D. , médico, e coronel da Força Aérea dos Estados Unidos. Foi um pioneiro nos estudos dos efeitos das forças de aceleração e desaceleração no organismo humano. Contemporâneo e colega de Chuck Yeager, Stapp tornou-se conhecido como o "homem mais rápido da terra". Stapp foi selecionado pela Força Aérea dos EUA como "cobaia" de testes para medir a resistência humana a grandes acelerações. Desafiou a velocidade pilotando um trenó com propulsão por foguetes. Quando iniciou suas pesquisas, em 1947, estimava-se que um ser humano suportaria no máximo uma aceleração equivalente a 18g (18 vezes a força da gravidade). Stapp desfez essa barreira ao longo do seu processo de trabalho, experimentando mais picos de força g que qualquer outro humano. Por conta disso, sofreu inúmeras lesões incluindo membros e costelas quebrados, descolamento de retina e traumas diversos, que no decorrer de sua vida comprometeriam sua visão permanentemente por conta do rompimento de vasos sanguíneos em seus olhos. Em um de seus últimos testes com trenós movidos a foguete, Stapp foi submetido ao equivalente a 46,2 vezes a força da gravidade. A contribuição para os projetos aeronáuticos que essas pesquisas trouxeram, além de fundamentalmente importantes, são largamente disseminadas e difíceis de quantificar. Em 1949, Stapp bateu o recorde de aceleração. Não pôde, porém, festejar o feito. Os acelerômetros do trenó-foguete simplesmente não funcionaram. Desolado, Stapp encomendou ao engenheiro que o ajudava, o então capitão Edward Murphy Jr. , diligências para identificar a falha. Não tardou a descobrir que um técnico ligara os circuitos do veículo ao contrário. No relatório em que informa sobre o malfeito, Murphy Jr. anotou: "Se há mais de uma forma de fazer um trabalho e uma dessas formas redundará em desastre, então alguém fará o trabalho dessa forma". Espirituoso, carismático e popular com seus colegas e com a imprensa, um inveterado colecionador de eufemismos e adágios, a ponto de conservar um caderno de anotações sobre o assunto, Stapp, apoiado por sua equipe e pela cultura reinante no seu ambiente de trabalho, popularizou a expressão ao comentar em uma entrevista a jornalistas, o diagnóstico do auxiliar, resumindo-o na forma: "Se alguma coisa pode dar errado, dará" e estabelecendo aquela que viria a ser conhecida como Lei de Murphy. A vida de Stapp foi dedicada à segurança aeroespacial em particular e à segurança em geral. O seu legado persiste até hoje através da popularização de equipamentos como o cinto de segurança, e da cultura de segurança automobilística que ajudou a criar e desenvolver, e que promoveria divulgando por muitos anos em conferências e entrevistas.
