In the Zapruder film, just after the head shot, Mrs Kennedy scrambles on to the rear of the limousine and a man seems to appear out of nowhere and jump onto the back of the vehicle. Who was this man and what was he doing, did he cling on until they reached the hospital? Was Mrs Clinton trying do help the man up when she climbed onto the rear?

That man was Special Agent Clinton Hill and his duty was to protect Mrs Kennedy. On that day, he was on the running board of the car immediately behind the Presidential car. After the shot was fired he ran and leapt onto the Presidential car and stayed there all the way to the hospital.

If by Mrs Clinton you mean Mrs Kennedy, she was not trying to help Hill, she was retrieving a portion of JFK's brain that had landed on the boot.

ok thanks - by the way, yes sorry I did mean Mrs Kennedy
I think that Jackie Kennedy was just scared out of her wits, she's just seen her husband who was sat next to her shot dead, half of his brains coming out onto her (if you ever see a photo of Lyndon Johnson being sworn in as President on Airforce One later that day you'll see the blood and gore still on her suit). It was probably just instinct to get out of the way.
There was a book published many years ago "The Day Kennedy was shot" It explains everything that happened that day. Good read!
Oh by the way, the Zapruder film is self censored
Only the Americans, land of the free, free expression etc, could do something like this

So mrs Clinton, sorry K, looks as though she suddently wants to get off via the trunk - boot to you and I

but in fact she is going after a bit of the president occiput. You dont see this, because the frame has been excised.
I think it is frame 99 but I am not sure.

Anyway the Z film is lacking the relevant bit
and that is because the actual moment of the president being shot which I thinnk has to be kinda borne in mind by all you conspiracy theorists
