i think the important thing about blacking out in regards to G’s is sustained vs momentary. a G you pull in a roll that lasts maybe 2 seconds can be greater than what you would have to account for if you sustaining a certain amount of g’s during a 10 second bank turn. just a guess [Previous page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/so-i-dropped-some-and-all-i-got-was-this-pics/33808.md?page=1) [Next page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/so-i-dropped-some-and-all-i-got-was-this-pics/33808.md?page=3)
