Think you could handle 7.5G's?

I have found the following link posted on Screamscape showing the effects of doing an Immelman in an F/A 18 hornett.

This is what happens to you when your body cannot handle sustained G's  Laughing

Hmmmmm, American high tech fighterness, oh and a good display team too, but not as good as our Red's.
The highest G force I have been through I think was on Magnum Force, 5. something. Very Happy

Same here, I really miss Magnum  Sad

Although I have to say that the only ride I have ever and ever get near to blackout on is Nemesis at the bottom of the helix.
Bunnie

I'd love to have a go at that.

Did anyone watch the Horizons programme last night where Michael Portillo experienced 9Gs?

Vomit comet anyone????

Hail All! Twisted Evil
I don't know what G-force we pulled whilst doing so, but a train that I was on a while back (One of those tilting Class 390 Virgin Pendolinos) pulled a LOT of lateral G-force whilst negotiating the bend coming out of Chester station en-route to Bangor/Holyhead! Twisted Evil

I could just about understand a Pendolino doing that on a lot of tight bends in central England...But we'd been "off the wire" (On a line with no overhead catenery) since Crewe, and as a result we were being hauled by a "shed" at the time! Surprised

Now can someone tell me how on Earth we got 125mph out of a Class 66? ShockedTwisted Evil
