Throw Rapid-Return 1: Finite-Jerk @ Start/End/Mid-Point

Throw: Rapid-Return Finite Jerk

Characteristics:

It has a LARGE negative acceleration, and unspecified Jerk, at its maximum displacement - the transition from Rise to Return.

Also, it has zero-jerk at the Start of the Rise and at the end of the Return.
