    G-Force, Please Read

    When your in a F-16, or like a faster plane and you go max turn and you feel like 9.2 G, is there anyway to like survive from blacking out? and when you feel it does it hurt you?

    Blacking out does not kill you.  It merely means you do not have enough bloodflow to your eyes/visual cortex for them to function correctly, at that time.

    There are several techiniques pilots use to boost their G tolerance.  Using an inflating G-suit and coordinated breathing and muscle contractions will allow most pilots to withstand a 9 G turn.

    Think about riding a roller coster (especially in a tight turn), then multiply by 3 or 4.  You get "pressed" against your seat or straps with quite a bit of force.
