Ever wonder what a G-locked and barfing woman looks like?

No hard feelings, but it had me laughing!

Lol.. that was good.. I wonder if he pushed it on purpose.... I thought he was gonna stop after he didnt hear any more HICKS!!!! .. but he kept going lol..

was cool that she shared that with everyone and wasnt too embarrased.

I think she should have done a couple of test runs on the BIGSHOT first...

It's kinda sad that that was her ONLY ride with them. If i had a chance to ride I wouldn't want to waste it throwing up.

Most people would throw up going through that.

I reckon even guys like me with military experience would have a hard time not losing their lunch. There is a big difference being a passenger and being the pilot. The passenger never really knows when the G is coming on and the pilot has more things on his mind than the feeling in his stomach.

Also G tolerance is something that can be built up. When I was being trained, after a while I simply didn't feel any G below 3 G. These demonstration pilots, doing it every day, would barely feel it below 4G.

All that being said, I'd give my left you-know-what to go for a ride along...

wow that was great lol, I was rolling all over the ground laughing watching this, you know, I was in a F-18 simulator once and even though it didn't simulate the g's, I think I did enough 4 point rolls to be in the bathroom loosing my lunch haha...

1. Could I have the direct link if you know where I could find it?

2. At the end when she said she lost it after that last G or w.e, it looked like she passed out. Not sure.

all you have to do is right click the image--->select "copy shortcut" and paste it up in your address bar. And YES, she definitely G-LOC'd at the very end.

6 out

yeah Most people will GLOC at around 5g's.. I am no superstar and I GLOC at 5gs.. I wasnt trained of course.. So i can only imagine the pain and force 7gs can feel like. The Centrefuge is not all that much fun.. and you look silly as hell on the review tape.

For those of you that have never experience GLOC.. for me it was like (example) Have someone stand behind you as you take 3 deep breaths on the last one hold it and have that person wrap their arms around you and Bear Hug you,,, you will feel a very strong dazed feeling as your body goes limp.. you can see things and hear things, but you dont or cant really respond to them... it only last for a few seconds.. maybe 5-10.. and then its over...

Example of 3g's is the ride called THE GRAVITRON.. im sure some of you have been on this amusement park ride.. Looks like a Space Ship you lay against the walls and as it spins .. the walls slide up and you are pinned.. Imagine that times (x) 2.

I also experienced what it was like to lose oxygen and trying to do simple tasks as part of a High altitude cabin decompression exercise. I couldnt concentrate or keep my train of thought or answer simple questions.. Truly not a fun experience.

So i give much props to these SUPER ATHLETES
