“When I hit the water brake, it felt like Ted Williams had hit me on the back, about lumbar five, with a baseball bat,” Beeding said, according to the video description.īeeding passed out due to shock while explaining his troubles to the flight surgeon. G-Loc - or passing out from G’s - happens when blood leaves the head, starving the brain of oxygen.īeeding was sitting up going backwards, that is, he experienced the force back-to-front when he came to a screetching halt from 35 mph. On the other hand, someone laying down feet first going forward can sustain 14 G’s for up to three minutes. Someone in the upright sitting position going forward experiencing front-to-back force will pass out at 5 G’s in 3 to 4 seconds. At 5 G’s, you’re weight is 750 pounds (150 X 5).Ī person’s G-tolerance depends on the body’s position, direction, and duration. For example, if you weigh 150 pounds and experience 2 G’s, your weight increases to 300 pounds.

But if you go to space, you experience 0 G’s, or weightlessness. Some of the best fighter pilots can withstand 9. Test pilot Eli Beeding experienced 83 and lived to tell about it.īefore explaining how it’s possible, the following is a loose description of G-forces - or G’s - on the body, according to Go Flight Med.Įveryone walks around at 1 G, the natural gravitational force of earth.
