What is the G force feeling on roller coasters?
What is the G force feeling on roller coasters? On a rollercoaster you can experience positive and negative G-force, by which we don't mean fun and unpleasant. A positive G-force is what you're feeling when a ride speeds up and pushes you back in your seat. A negative G-force is what's happening when you feel as if you're being pulled out of your seat.
Is 10 G-force a lot?
Although stunt planes are designed to easily withstand very high G-forces of up to 10 or even 12 Gs, stunt pilots who provide rides to the general public rarely perform maneuvers that exceed 4 Gs. This is because the average person does not have special training to handle more than 4 or 5 Gs.
What does G-Force feel like roller coaster?
No matter how far the drop, a roller coaster will only subject the rider to weightlessness (what you call the “dropping feeling”). It won't actually throw the rider upward against the seat restraints with force, which is like pulling positive gs upside down.

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.
