[![]( " - YouTube") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4FmUsYKISLY) it’s more then a force pushing down on you…if you want to keep from all the blood rushing to your legs/feet.,you need to tense every muscle in your body like you’re taking a huge brick shit. It’s an intense strain on all your muscles as a result. ---

:tup: i didn’t think it would be too bad…but 5.5G’s put me on the edge of puking with the combination of weightlessness and cashews/gatorade. I must have sweated what seemed like a gallon in short period of time. 9 sustained G’s is supposedly when you get to the pass out point without a G suit. ---

tense up your whole body (to keep the blood in your head). if you get a chance read up on proper breathing techniques. keep focused on a spot directly in front of you. when you turn look to the side or turn your head is when the dizzyness gets really bad. ---
