I could feel my heart beating the first time I was clamped down but the next time they played loud music and it never bothered me like the first time again. Obviously I didn't like it but that "I gotta get loose from this thing" only lasted the first time. Measurement days (every Monday) added about an extra 10 mins or so clamped down. I also had to hold a rope in each hand connected to a strap around my feet to keep my body as rigid and motionless as possible.... and we'll have fun fun fun till your daddy takes the T Bird away.....
