Holy sh...

How many G's do you guys think he pulled? He does some very hard banks at full throttle while diving.

Its not surprising to hit 12G's + in a modern jet.

 

[ch33zw1z]

wow...

 

[Jaskalas]

I think I'll wait for the inertia dampeners.

^ This. Does not look fun, not sure my body would take it.

For any longer than a split-second 12G's is deadly to a pilot.

No.

 

[waggy]

Edit: Actually somebody has survived loads of 46G's. Over 25G's for more than a second.

i had seen a utube thing of a dude who did test. he did one that was insane and danged his eyes.

this was back in the 70s i beleive.

No.

I'm no fighter jet authority, but I'm pretty sure he's right. Maybe more than a 'split second' (whole second?), but they're not gonna sustain that for long. Both because of the danger and because, frankly, I'm pretty sure they don't need to. Jets turn pretty damn quickly, and with 'dogfighting' pretty much dead, I don't see why there would be a need to do a maneuver like that.

No.

They may not "need" to sustain 12G's for seconds at a time, but they do in fact experience it. Even if they did 12G's for seconds it would not be fatal. 15G's is the lowest limit of fatal tolerance (usually 25-45). Even peaks up to 100G's are survivable (car crashes etc).

 

[BladeVenom]

Any of them ever have a stroke doing that?

 

[Acanthus]

You don't have to die from the G's for the forces to be fatal.

It is kind of hard to fly a jet while unconscious.

15g will cause considerable injury, mostly back and neck injuries very similar to a car crash at 40 mph.

 

[Doppel]

I get close to g-loc on roller coaster rides. No shit, I can't take them anymore. Would make a terrible fighter pilot.

 

[randomrogue]

Magic Mountain's Goliath hit's 4.5G's and makes me grey out. That's enough for me. I used to do it 3 times in a row and at that point I can barely walk afterwards. It's how I know I'm done since I can't walk to the line again.

That was kind of my intent. I may not have stated it clearly enough.

The whole point of the OP was that most people will start to get 'foggy,' if not completely pass out, well before 9G's. That guy is not indicative of even a typical fighter pilot.

Oh yes, I understood that. I was responding to the other poster that stated 12G's was not deadly to a combat pilot.

 

[ColdFusion718]

LOL. If the guy in the stall next to me ever starts yelling "1....2....BREATH!", I'll know it's you.

LOL breath? Say that out loud, "1, 2, breath." Now say "1, 2, breathe." Notice a difference?
