@milk skill issue

@milk @matrix not true, tom cruise survived 8Gs in top gun 2

@milk @matrix it was only the black pilot who passed out (best part of the movie hehe haha lol)

@matrix @milk @matrix
Normal person ok at 5G for short times. Most start graying out at 6g. Funny vision effects, chance of blackout. Military pilots wear G-suits that compress legs and help stop blood flow downward. Source: I flew aerobatics a long time ago.

@pinemarten @milk @matrix You can take 10Gs for a little while in a pressure suit, from what I understand. Some guys have reportedly made it through 13 but that's starting to sound like big fish tales to me.

@ogre_fucker @pinemarten @milk @matrix Supposedly someone survived 200gs in a crash in an F1 race

@Apollonian_Differential @pinemarten @milk @matrix Sure, for like 1 millisecond lol. That's another aspect to this. Even without a pressure suit, a few seconds of 10G isn't going to kill you, but it's sure gonna make you zonk out for a while.

I worked with someone who used to do recovery for crashed Army helicopters, and it turns out the major cause of death in a helicopter crash is all organs tearing loose from the various membranes and blood vessels that hold them in place.

At 5 - 6 Gs you can feel your lungs sagging inside your chest.

Wheeeeeeeeeee!
