     The `mcycle' data frame has 133 rows and 2 columns.

     In an experiment to test crash helmets, a series of measurements
     of head acceleration after a simulated motorcycle crash were
     recorded.

     data(mcycle)

_F_o_r_m_a_t:

     This data frame contains the following columns:

     `_t_i_m_e_s' The time in milliseconds since impact.

     `_a_c_c_e_l' The recorded head acceleration (in g).

_S_o_u_r_c_e:

     The data were obtained from
