The sequence that is shown in the opening credits of The Six Million Dollar Man, when Steve Austin’s craft crashes to the ground, is real footage of an accident that occurred in 1967 when test pilot Bruce Peterson’s aircraft hit the ground at a speed of 250 miles per hour.

The dialogue that Austin speaks in the sequence is exactly the same that Peterson spoke just before he crashed. Peterson survived the real crash, but he did lose an eye through an infection after the accident.
