G-LOC

This poor guy is taken for a ride and finds out how fun it is to G-Loc:

G-induced Loss Of Consciousness is a condition where a person loses consciousness because g-forces move the blood away from the brain (black out) or move excess blood towards the brain (red out). The condition is most often linked to pilots of fighter planes or astronauts.

I don't think its a real good idea to have gum in your mouth when your are out cold

@TJsShots Because roller coasters are not even close to 6-7g that you experience on these rides and it never lasts more than a few seconds at a time on roller coasters. Roller coasters are usually at around 3g at maximum. The description explains how you black out from high g-forces (g-loc) 

[TJsShots]

I dont get it how do you get g loc why dont you get this on rollercoasters?

@supplementSEAL That's good for fighter pilots, but untrained people should not be allowed to do this. I get the impression that people think this is like going to see the Eiffel Tower or some other safe, fun activity to do once. Thanks for telling me about the training (I looked it up) :)

@TheLonelyImmortal i completely agree under the circumstances which involve normal people with no training; but fighter pilots practice a technique called hooking which is just a breathing technique and can be heard in the video. it basically forces blood to their brain to keep them from blacking out.

This looks like it could be causing brain damage, and not the kind that's obvious. I imagine the damage would be imperceptible or subtle, but nonetheless something to consider. When people pass out due to G force, I imagine it's due to blood not getting where it's supposed to be, and having deoxygenated brain tissue leads to death after a while. It's only for 5 seconds or so, but the brain still isn't made to handle that.

@CheezeTank its called hooking, they breath rhythmically like that to keep the blood in their head and avoid a black out like this dude, just think if this happened to you while u were flying the damn thing lol1-+

eh, he could choke on the gum, right?

[CruelModder]

How many Gs did they pull in the beginning?
