"The physicist Luis Alvarez, who wrote an extensive report on the Zapruder film, showed that the backwards head movement can be explained by the forward ejection of brain matter. Alvarez is a Nobel Prize winner who worked on the atomic bomb."

I also heard that they did tests on melons of some sort and had to do many, many test shots to get one to recoil backwards like Alvarez' theory purports.

I also heard that they did tests on melons of some sort and had to do many, many test shots to get one to recoil backwards like Alvarez' theory purports.

So you admit that the theory describes something that *can* happen! They used tape covered melons which obviously aren't perfect models of the human head. I don't know how many tests were done but I've seen the film of the melon falling backwards. Alvarez discusses the melon test and the physics behind it in the link I posted in #110.
