How fast was Breeding moving before stopping?

There is ambiguity about how fast Beeding's sled was travelling before decelerating to a stop. The article says 35 mph, and page 66 of the 1993 Guinness Book of World Records say 34 mph. However if he really experienced a mean deceleration of 82.6 G for 0.04 sec while coming to a stop, physics says he was travelling at 82.6 * 9.81 m/s^2 * 0.04 sec = 32.4 m/s = 72.5 mph. The book The Flying Circus of Physics concurs with this calculation for Beeding's stop. I'm going to be bold and change the article to 72.5 mph on the assumption that he really endured the stated 82.6 Gs for the stated 0.04 seconds, which are the two numbers that all sources agree upon.

Okay, I finally figured out what's going on. I found this detailed technical explanation of what happened. It appears that all sources reporting that he experienced 82.6 Gs for 0.04 seconds got it wrong. The sled actually slowed at 40.4 G for 0.04 seconds = 15.85 m/s = 35 mph. The 82.6 G was a peak acceleration recorded by an accelerometer on his chest due to a resonant response of his rib cage. Brian Wowk (talk) 21:41, 7 May 2016 (UTC)
