How many Gs does a parachute pull?
How many Gs does a parachute pull? 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.
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.
