Re: Near-Topic: G forces

As other people have said, it's all a matter of what you want the person
doing under G.

During WWII, fighter pilots would black out under 5 or 6 G's. (No G
suit,
upright seating)
Modern pilots with G-suits and well-design aircraft can remain in
control
under up to 9-10 G's.
A human body can survive a lot more, but the person loses consciousness.

I certainly wouldn't think a human would want sustained G's of greater
than
3 G's if you want it for a long period (possibly hours), and probably
less
than 2 if you want it for extended periods (days, weeks).

Just checking some numbers - can anyone tell me how many G's the Human
body
can stand, and can anyone theorize/postulate how much that number might
be
upped with any future tech that can help us (ie how many WILL we be able
to
withstand in the timesetting of a FT/DSII universe)?
