@pgtv69.

.

We are talking about G, not weight or center of gravity. if your 100 Lbs and you pull 9 G's your gonna feel 900 Lbs, if your 300 Lbs and you pull 9 G's your gonna feel 2700 Lbs, so being overweight is only going to increase the pressure.

.

Being short would actually focus the force on a smaller area so the pressure per inch would be greater. so being short and fat is quite a disadvantage here, instead of playing the violin you would probably be crushed to death.

damn..im tall and skinny 6' and 125 lbs (im 16) i would get owned...

Fuck it. I am short 5'9" 325lb I would love to see how many G's I could pull. I would love to ride that thing until I pass out. It would be awesome!!!

Great job Scoogen, thanks for serving.

@hondacrazy123 Haha no worries, and yes, G-loc is when you pass out (Gravity induced Loss of Consciousness) =]

[hondacrazy123]

@MetalJaXtA666 thank you for that i understand now, and i take it that g-loc is when you pass out?

@hondacrazy123 Testing/training him by seeing how many G's he can pull. Also the reason for the coloured lights and asking if they appear dim (correct if Im wrong)..is because while pulling excess g's, blood drains from the head, in this case blood moves from the eyes thus loosing coloured vision, what happens next is that yes as Uviuar said, you lose peripheral vision (tunnel vision) until you lose complete vision "blackout" while still being conscious, and if you hold the g's longer you G-loc

@hondacrazy123 There are a series of lights in the centrifuge for him to stare at while moving faster. One common problem with pulling g's is tunnel vision. As you begin to pull more g's you start to lose peripheral vision, like you are looking down a dark tunnel. His vision dropped all the way down to where he could see nothing around him except for a red light right in the middle. But he regained his vision quickly thereafter. Overall this kid did very well.
