Do you feel g-force while skydiving?
Do you feel g-force while skydiving? When we deploy the canopy we are feeling a force that is pulling us away from the Earth's pull. This pull from the parachute that counters the natural pull of the earth causes skydivers to experience upwards of 3 G's as they slow down from about 120 mph to 15 mph.
What does 1 g-force feel like?
A g-force is a measure of acceleration. 1G is the acceleration we feel due to the force of gravity. It's what keeps our feet firmly planted on the ground. Gravity is measured in metres per second squared, or m/s2.
