He's not going to feel the G's.  Think of it this way, a person  orbitting earth
is in a 1G field.  However, she is falling continuosly so feels as if she has no
acceleration.  Gs pulled are only felt when there is something resisting the change.

Ok, so in terms of impact damage, it isn't that great of a system.
What about in terms of physiologically harmfull?

Do we have any pilots on the list?  What's average G tolerance for
an untrained (non pilot) person? 6g?  I know with proper training a
pilot can make 9g without a problem.  I'd like to know how the body
responds to taking g's over time but don't know what to google for.

And the swing from +6g to -6g is a *really* ugly rollercoaster to
ride in combat gear or full vac gear.  You might vomit, pass out
and then check out.
