Does it hurt to pull Gs?


Does it hurt to pull Gs? Other less serious effects of large G forces are musculoskeletal pain (usually confined to the back and neck) and small punctate bruises called petechiae from overwhelmed capillaries that rupture. This usually occurs in gravity-dependent areas of the body and are affectionately known as G-measles, or Geasles.

We experience higher or lower g forces when we are rapidly changing speeds or directions. Normal humans can withstand no more than 9 g's, and even that for only a few seconds.


Can a pilot pull 10 gs?

While commercial flights exert only very minimal positive and negative G-forces on passengers, several orders of magnitude greater are the G-forces experienced by astronauts, fighter pilots and stunt pilots. These types of pilots can experience brief periods of extreme forces of nine and 10 Gs.
