Roller coaster riders pull various levels of G’s - but they rarely get much beyond 4 G’s, according to Sanjay Gupta.G and the G Forces How Gravitational Forces Affect Your Body It’s hard for the human body to take, although my pilot seemed to be enjoying it and joking the whole time, sometimes at my expense. Higher G’s and your lungs start to collapse, your esophagus stretches, your stomach drops and blood pools significantly in your legs. In our daily activities, we rarely experience anything other than 1 G.įrom a medical standpoint, at 4 G’s, you will start to lose color vision, which is why it is called “graying out” - 4.5 G’s and you may lose vision all together. The force of gravity when you sit, stand or lie down is considered 1 G. #2 – Use this as a baseline for understanding G-force: That means: If you weigh 100 lbs, you would weigh 400 lbs. #1 – Here’s how G-force relates to your body weight:Ĥ G’s means 4 times the force of gravity - which alone is a force to be dealt with.
These 2 points have helped me understand what Gravitational force means: I bet you’re asking, “ What is G-force, anyway?” Here’s what I’ve recently learned about Gravitational force… What Exactly Is Gravitational Force? Gravitational force has always been interesting to me - ever since Jim told me that our favorite NHRA driver, Terry McMillen reaches between 3 and 3.5 G’s behind the wheel of his Top Fuel drag racing car each time he goes down the track.īut I’ve never really understood how G-forces work and how many G’s do what to your body - until now. I saw an interesting report on CNN the other day.
