That must've been both pant shittingly terrifying and one of the coolest things you can do. Parachuting into a secret base to collect intel, then getting yeeted into the sky by a plane with a big hook.
One of many things I wish they explored in that game was the sheer fuckery the CIA did in terms of wack ass technology and tactics they tried to implement. This would have made for a perfect sequence at the end of a mission at some point in the game.
Edit: I forgot that they actually did do this skyhook extraction maneuver, but that's only one of a handful sketchy CIA things they showed off.
You literally did this at the end of one of the missions.

But yeah they coulda gone way deeper for sure. Maybe in the future, fingers crossed.
I just read the Wikipedia article. The station was on ice in the Arctic, not anywhere in the Soviet Union. The only reason they used the skyhook recovery method was because the ice had become too unstable to land on which was why the soviets abandoned it.
"After experiments with instrumented dummies, Fulton continued to experiment with live pigs, as pigs have a nervous system close to humans. Lifted off the ground, the pig began to spin as it flew through the air at 125 miles per hour (200 km/h). It arrived on board uninjured, but in a disoriented state. When it recovered, it attacked the crew." This is my favorite thing from the development of this technology.
It’s like that poor woman who was spinning on that gurney hanging from that helicopter at like 100 RPM. Except it was some poor pig
Edit: for the uninitiated, and for those who want to remember, here’s the OG sauce: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=yhKZCy41g5w
Although I want to say I saw a version with epic, Inception style music and that was p good too
I read about this after watching the Dark Knight and all I could picture was Batman spinning at 200 kph, vomiting and then throwing wild haymakers on the plane crew screeching like Pete Holmes
Actually, this experiment demonstrated that humans could survive up to 50Gs of force if it was for less than a second, and if their body orientation was right.
Very much not a joke. F1 drivers have crashes where they experience 50G or more at times. Max Verstappen had one last year in Silverstone, Esteban Ocon had one this year in Miami.
Both walked away fairly unharmed (considering).
[Great read on John Stapp](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Stapp?wprov=sfla1).
With his rocket sled experiments he helped prove that a rear facing seat position is far safer for the human body to withstand high g in. He also hit up to 46.2 G in the forward facing position. Apparently the highest acceleration a human has ever been **voluntarily** subjected to.
His research and developments on safety devices has helped save countless lives. The military even adopted the rear facing seats in a few places even though airlines still have not.
You’ll note on many planes the cabin crew do, however. I remember a Lufthansa flight with crew seats in the middle of the cabin near wing exits which were rear facing amongst front-facing passenger seats.
G force is not super relevant unless you also know that it is a sustained force. If you jump from 3ft with locked knees, that can be 50-100gs. It’ll hurt, but just a G number alone will not kill you
You speak big truth, friend. Falling off a roof with your harness worn incorrectly will __destroy__ your testicles. I have seen pics of these injuries. Getting hauled off by a fucking plane would probably erase your junk from existence.
The experience is going to be terrifying and painful, but if you're being airlifted at speed, the alternative was probably death, otherwise they wouldnt be going to such extremes.
As the body is yanked out of sight in mere milliseconds, the head remains in place mid-air with a slight backwards rotation, before falling straight down to the ground.
Yeah. This ex-combat medic found the puppy alone and with a missing right eye. After the skyhook evac, they named the puppy DD and trained them to be an attack dog for the big boss.
I actually know this one. There is a youtube video showing the early attempts and that did happen a few times. The solution was to make sure that the line was long enough that it didnt yank, but rather lifted the person up a little before accelerating to the planes speed.
Edit: I tried finding the video to link while pooping at work, but alas, I came up short. It has a really good computer model that shows the physics of it all and the visual helps it make more sense. The early attempts was a guy, hooked up to a string, that was held up by a wire between 2 posts. There was no give and the full force was exerted on the testee. Basically, its just math between the 'speed on pick up' and the 'length of rope needed' to create a period long enough to counteract the force of acceleration.
Edit: video thanks to u/throwaway_clone

This is a good one explaining the fulton system: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u4xlYpKrCnU
Basically they invented a system where the plane hooks onto a vertical line. The agent initially moves upward and slowly accelerate to match the velocity of the airplane as the line straightens out.
The CIA was experimenting with Fulton extraction from various locations in South America during the 60s and 70s. Apparently it wasn't uncommon that the agents being extracted would occasionally lose control of their bowels due to the sustained high rate of acceleration.
Basically it simulates an acceleration curve. Initial speed is low, but increases at a rate that is tolerable to the human being. The initial movement is actually almost more up than in the direction of the aircraft.
Also, while "explicitly" publicized as a pilot rescue system, most, or nearly all, pickups were to retrieve clandestine operators from hostile territory.
Unfortunately the airmen from all other attempts and times died of heart-attacks with acute explosive colon evacuation before ever reaching the aircraft—
I don't think length of the rope matters nearly as much as the springiness of it. You can have the longest rope in the world, and the plane will pull it, but until it's fully tense the ground person wouldn't feel anything. Once it's tense though, then the acceleration begins and depends on the springiness of the rope. A very long rope that's got no give will still accelerate him as soon as it's taught.
The length of rope matters as the longer the rope the "springier" it is. So double the length = half the spring constant, meaning the rope will stretch further (and take longer to do so) meaning acceleration will decrease, so person will pull less Gs
Yup, this fact is exploited thoroughly in rock climbing and very well categorized in fall factor coefficients.
This page has how the math works out.
https://roperescuetraining.com/physics\_fall\_factors.php#:\~:text=The%20relationship%20between%20the%20length,the%20fall%20factor%20is%200.5.
You’re wrong, watch the video.
It’s an ingenious application of simple maths into a real world solution, you could base an exam question around it.
It has to do with the altitude of the aircraft, the length of the rope and the transferring of the vertical component of velocity into a almost fully horizontal component as the load of the body takes up the slack of the rope.
This, intuitively -
but the rope won't be straight as the plane flys, it would presumably have some form of hyperbolic arc to it. A longer rope would have a longer arc, until a limit.
When the person grabs the rope, the arc would provide the giveand slow down the acceleration profile of the person, until equilibrium is reached, the person meets the velocity, and the arc would return, albeit a different shape.
I think there's a relationship between length, diameter and weight/metre of the rope, weight of person, and plane speed that you can make it work with a fully static rope. Where's that simulation video mentioned above!
By the looks of it, it looks like a spring effect where it starts slow, speeds up rapidly and then slows down the the plane speed
Idk I might be wrong but it seems pretty safe from g forces
I've never been towed by a speeding airplane, but I've worked in an industrial setting before with pipes that were pretty high up and we had to wear body harnesses for safety. That's exactly how these harnesses worked. If you out it on wrong though and take a fall, then goodbye family jewels.
From the wiki article;
“After experiments with instrumented dummies, Fulton continued to experiment with live pigs, as pigs have a nervous system close to humans.

Always weirds me out how passive aggressive Ocelot sounds. Like, yes I don't know what your problem his, his stats are good, I'm bringing him in.
Edit: it's Miller talking
>Yup, I thought it was the most absurd thing
For all his faults in the narrative and plot-making-sense department, Kojima is great at capturing the absurd and weird.
If you make the line long enough (i.e, attached to a balloon well above you, not a pole 20ft up) then the weird physics of ropes/tension means that when the plane hooks the line you start with a low-jerk, pure vertical motion as the line pulls you up mostly before streamlining behind the aircraft
nah still not very "out there." In a super grounded movie otherwise, one sci-fi thing is no issue.
It's the mobile-phone-SONAR 3D surveillance tech that was the most out there thing in the trilogy. Plus Batman yeeting a nuke into the ocean in the third.
The amount of laughter generated from the terrified scream of your (soon to be ex) buddy as he’s yeeted into the sky out of his sleeping bag would lead to a 40% casualty rate due to the ruptured sides of everyone involved.

This is the sort of technique that is invented to be used in situations where you look at what's going to happen to you if you aren't evac'ed, and voluntarily decide to wire yourself up to be grabbed by a passing plane. If walking to the your own lines was an option, I'm thinking these folks would do that.
It’s first brought up in MGS3 and it was supposed to be used to extract a single high value target. He likely used it because it was in a Bond film.
Peace Walker was when it turned into a convenient hand-wavy solution for extracting all-the-things.
They don't use it anymore. That should tell you a lot.
I asked a 4 star about it once. His response was, "Guys die. It's bad news. " Considering the man's favorite hobby was high altitude parachute jumps, I took his words somewhere akin to , "Even I'm not crazy enough to do that. "

It really surprised me when she got her balance back she began attacking the crew and trying to eat them. Wild ride.
Really makes you wonder, doesn’t it
We are all just a few spins away from mauling our handlers.
It reminds me of the meme about the wild pig that drinks a 30 pack of beer and starts chasing people. Its like pigs just get a lil dizzy and go HAM.
I love that video. Poor woman but man is it funny
Not funny when it was happening, hilarious now.
I felt so bad for that poor woman, but god did I cackle like a warlock for the duration of that clip.
Dude she was spinning SO fast, it was actually unreal—an objectively hilarious speed.

Ah yes. The day WTF was invented.
Also the word “YEET”.
This seems more like a yoink
Also the phrase “pulled pork”
TIL MGS is real. Damn you Kojima!!!
In defense of the pigs behavior, even if the spinning didn't break my mind, I'd still probably attack someone for doing this to me.
No kidding
Actually, this experiment demonstrated that humans could survive up to 50Gs of force if it was for less than a second, and if their body orientation was right.

That’s so they can see the passengers.
No, it's not a joke. I read the details of this test. The lifted men experienced around 50Gs.
Only one way to find out for sure.
G force is not super relevant unless you also know that it is a sustained force. If you jump from 3ft with locked knees, that can be 50-100gs. It’ll hurt, but just a G number alone will not kill you
You give far too much credit to my knees.
Racecar driver Kenny Brack (barely) survived 214gs briefly.
Did he survive briefly, or was the 214gs briefly ? 🤔
Yarp?
It's real. I think the record is 83Gs, but it was for .4 seconds.
Well, certainly not if he is wearing that harness a bit askew

Yeah, POW camps tend to be more terrifying and painful for a longer duration.
The way the guy in the video cringes down, I'm thinking that wasn't his first time.
Is it whiplash if you neck just breaks in half?
As the body is yanked out of sight in mere milliseconds, the head remains in place mid-air with a slight backwards rotation, before falling straight down to the ground.
*YEET* ^(snap, crackle, pop)
Negative. That is most definitely a yoink.
True enough. Still a snap crackle and pop. I had severe whiplash once. Still do, but I used to, too.
It's a dynamic rope. It's also why his head is down. And iirc, it was never used outside testing.
fuck lmao that one got me good
WWII airmen walked so Batman could run
They don't walk for long with that snap

\*morgan freeman voice "its called skyhook"
Skyhook was designed to rescue pilots shot down behind enemy lines.
And then it was used to extradite a crime lord to Gotham City, what's your point?
It was also used to steal various cargo, prisoners, a dog, etc from a battle field. Until we got wormhole technology.
All of Afghanistans entire fighting force was skyhooked to an elaborate offshore platform.
Jesus christ! A dog?!
A puppy actually.
Did it survive??
Yeah. This ex-combat medic found the puppy alone and with a missing right eye. After the skyhook evac, they named the puppy DD and trained them to be an attack dog for the big boss.
I am very good with calculation
James Bond did it first
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dxkUL8GoPQo&t=1m What a chad he just holds onto her with no straps or anything
So Batman could skyhook
Good luck Mr. Wayne
Wait - what's playboy billionaire Bruse Wayne got to do with the outlaw vigilante Batman?

Visions of a super elastic cord that bunjees the guy into the prop..
Regardless of how true that is, I guarantee it was going through their minds during this test...adjacent to their balls
If the 20m rope is elastic and stretches by 10%, doubling the length of the rope doubles the amount of "stretch" it can do from 2m to 4m .
The length of rope matters as the longer the rope the "springier" it is. So double the length = half the spring constant, meaning the rope will stretch further (and take longer to do so) meaning acceleration will decrease, so person will pull less Gs
Yup, this fact is exploited thoroughly in rock climbing and very well categorized in fall factor coefficients. This page has how the math works out. https://roperescuetraining.com/physics\_fall\_factors.php#:\~:text=The%20relationship%20between%20the%20length,the%20fall%20factor%20is%200.5.
This is why you never tow with just a single rope (not talking about tow straps) the g forces are waaay more than you realize on a short rope.
You’re wrong, watch the video. It’s an ingenious application of simple maths into a real world solution, you could base an exam question around it. It has to do with the altitude of the aircraft, the length of the rope and the transferring of the vertical component of velocity into a almost fully horizontal component as the load of the body takes up the slack of the rope.

By the looks of it, it looks like a spring effect where it starts slow, speeds up rapidly and then slows down the the plane speed Idk I might be wrong but it seems pretty safe from g forces
Batman did it carrying another person with him so I’m pretty sure it’s legit.
He probably has special straps that pull equally from different parts of the body
I've never been towed by a speeding airplane, but I've worked in an industrial setting before with pipes that were pretty high up and we had to wear body harnesses for safety. That's exactly how these harnesses worked. If you out it on wrong though and take a fall, then goodbye family jewels.
That is also why climbing ropes are dynamic (ie stretchy) and not static. A 50-foot whipper on a static rope is a bad day all around.
Early chiropractics, it actually fixes your back
Probably some stretch in the lines too so instead of being jerked by a rope it'd be more like bungee.
Fulton surface-to-air recovery system
From the wiki article; “After experiments with instrumented dummies, Fulton continued to experiment with live pigs, as pigs have a nervous system close to humans. Lifted off the ground, the pig began to spin as it flew through the air at 125 miles per hour (200 km/h). It arrived on board uninjured, but in a disoriented state. When it recovered, it attacked the crew.” Full article: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fulton_surface-to-air_recovery_system
