Zapruder flick

Warning: Graphic video. Do not watch if sensitive to blood and gore.

Here is what I've been working on all morning.

I think this little video shows that the head snap backwards was caused by a quick extrusion of brain matter through the wound and a subsequent rubber band like snapping back into the skull.  The weight of the brain caused the head to go forward very briefly and then to snap back when the brain didn't come apart.  The brain stretched out a distance from the skull and then retracted back towards the skull giving an impetus that forced the head back.

It may help to watch this video in slow motion, or to stop it frequently to note the effect described.
