Red Bull Air Race: G-Force

To compete in the Red Bull Air Race World Series, pilots will have to endure extreme g-forces, at times as high as 12Gs! Definitely not for everyone. It's takes a ton of training and an incredible amount of focus to compete under the extreme conditions found in air racing.

a human can survive up to 25 gs

[wuhlei]

cool video very informative

[fitnessmies]

@TheBasketball5135 there is proof of a human standing up to 40gs

[MillesDalton]

wow

[quangluu96]

@TheBasketball5135 i forgot his name, but this man test the ejection seat and survive a force of 30g :O his eye was like black out, but he was able to see after 24 hours.

@TheBasketball5135 Yeah you can survive it but when you are sitting in a plane and everythings gettin black for about 10 seconds you cant survive anymore.

@TheBasketball5135 Well, we can survive more than that, but not without some physical problems. John Stapp survived a peak of 46.2 g, but it resulted in organ damage and vision problems. He lived to the age of 89.

Sure you can survive more Gs, but you can't sustain them. There's a difference between crashing your car and hitting 10 or so Gs upon impact, and sustaining those 10 Gs for a good 15 to 20 seconds again and again. Plus, pilots take Gs through the Y axis, rather than the X and Z axis you normally feel.

You can experience G's in different ways, from a crash to a very tight car turn and to flying aerobatics. But they are different things because of direction and time wich u are affected. So a human can withstand a lot more very short lasting G's, or longer lasting lateral G's, than it can with positive or negative G's. With this in mind you can basically say people can withstand huge amount of G's, but if we're talking aviatiation an long lasting, from +7 or -2 on, it's quite extreme.

Did he say periphrial? I think so.

[mcgym]

nice one

@TheBasketball5135 No just 15 Gs Maximum :)
