  • @jboweruk you have obviously never seen a red bull air race.

  • @jboweruk Necrocomment ftw :)

  • @vijil Even they can't sustain it, you can only load the fittest, strongest body with even 9G's for a few seconds at most. Even Air Force pilots only sustain around 6G's in a normal airshow turn.

  • Another problem is that with that kind of force exerced on the lungs, you cant breath right, you need much more "power" to be able to get oxygen to your body. Even if you have the lungs full of oxygen, the G force makes you spit out the air, its like if someone is pressing your chest against a wall, it becomes difficult to breath.

  • True, but that would still put a significant load on your heart. A weak heart wont be able to pump blood that weighs 11 times normal up to your brain as well as a strong heart, straining or not.

    You're right though they do need to tense up and regulate their breathing.

  • I don't think it's about your heart.

    You need to strain. tighten al your muscles and breath every 3 seconds. Because of that you have to be fit, you can't tighten your muscles for like 10 seconds under those surcomstancis if you are unfit.

  • You can't handle 11 g's if you're unfit, it requires a very strong heart to keep the brain supplied with blood under that kind of load. Unfit = pass out = dead.

  • Very fit?
