Baboon Whiplash


This is video footage from the University of Pennsylvania back in 1983.  The research program would receive one million dollars every year from taxpayers for thirteen years to study head injuries.  The video shows how the researchers experimented with 150 baboons by subjecting them to whiplash over and over again and in result suffered brain damage.  These experiments were done to simulate a car accident or a sports injury.  This is just one of many types of experiments that have been done at the university in order to see what will happen.  There are four parts to this video.  This is the second part.  It was hard for me to watch these videos!
