About

Brennan challenged the tests' limitations on cross, including harness restraints, the lighter test arm, the free-spinning arm in Test C, and the absence of videotape for Test F. Test E was used by both sides to argue competing positions about debris physics and fragment transfer probability. Jackson used Test F photographs depicting road rash across the full dummy to contrast with O'Keefe's isolated puncture wounds.

ARCCA's vehicle-impact testing program included video material for Tests A–E and photographs for Test F. Test E was a 24 mph reverse impact with a suspended ATD arm; Test C involved an arm spinning freely; and Test F was a full rear impact at center of mass with a Rescue Randy dummy run at 29 mph. Wolfe confirmed that no videotape was made for Test F.
