CX880 said:I don't think being a pilot has anything to do with it since you don't experience any excess Gs as a regular pilot. Those military pilots go through intensive training to be able to stay conscious through that. I'm guessing the G-suit protects up to 3 or 4gs right plus the body can withstand as much as 4gs. So they could probably take as much as 8gs no problem. Any higher they probably learn to suck it up and go though it. I'm surprised in the video the pilot didn't tell the poor guy how many Gs they went through at the turns, usually they do.
What amazing to me, is that the Blues don't use G suits at all. It is said the inflation interferes with the tight formations and flying.
