G-LOC Question

[KCOTT]

"YABBA DABBA DOOO!"

That's what I heard. Hilarious, Sir.

Edit: I feel like this is related.

LOL, that's some funny stuff, same with the G-LOC vid, too

Yes I went back in an hour later and did 3 more profiles and was fine. The g-suit expanding on my abs was giving me kind of an artificial sensation i was squeezing my abs when i really wasn't. Lesson learned.

I think that dog and I have similar subconscious personalities.

Its been a while since I laughed myself into tears. Thank you. YUT!

Its crazy that in just a quick few seconds your body had time to dream and you remembered it. Thats amazing.

Good job making it through afterwards. Thanks for sharing that vid.

Nice video dude, did you end up with G measles? I felt like an old grandpa for a couple days from all the blood pooling and hardening in my joints.....nice G induced arthritis

You can tell by the tone of his voice that the HM2 loves his job.

Hmm, an F-14 guy GLOC'd in my class and they didn't make him come back, they let him leave like the rest of us. His video was pretty funny too.



They shut down the centerfuge for a few years due to some cracks in the arm that spun it around, at least that was what the CFET guys told us. It had only been open for a short time when I went through it and most guys I knew in jets had not done it.

What year did you go through it?

Great vid!

But who can do 32 Gs!!???!!!

Were the original Mercury Astronauts BS'ing, or did they really pull 32 Gs as this great Air & Space article says?

(Note: I used to ride this same centrifuge years later, but my max was "only" 12 Gs :sleep_125 )

You are a legend, Gut. That video just gets better every time.

32 Gs...sustained... that has to be transverse through the z axis (chest to back) not the x axis (head to toe).

Well, November Sierra, Sherlock!
Duh!

But still, you try it sometime! Eh?

That was awesome. I remember when I went through I was just getting over some food poisoning. Bad times.

During my "gentle slumber" of a g-loc episode I had a dream....but the kicker of the dream is a fly was buzzing around my head....as I was coming to my hand comes up to my temple and swats it away. I haven't laughed as hard as I did watching that poor dog video in a long, long time! Very nice!

When you guys (and ladies) are taking g's in the centrifuge like the OP's video, is it straight through the spine, or are you tilted back at all?

I've had a couple of my akro students pass out from gloc during training with me, and both of them had their arms do the same thing. That was interesting, thanks for sharing it.
