G-Force Poll

[vertgforces]

Favorite G-Force? I like negative

[phazan]

negative for me! then i guess comes positive.

 

 

ahh i love gs!

[CoasterFanatic]

I voted for "ack! G-forces suck!", because the choice comes closest to the G-Forces I prefer .... none.

 

That's right zero-g! My favorite zero-g moment is probably Jack Rabbit's (Kennywood) double dip. Don't tell me it is "Negative G's" or I shall beat you with my old physics text book.

 

Negative g's cause blood to pool in the upper part of the body. The increased blood volume delivered to the heart leads to an increase in cardiac output and blood pressure. The blood vessels of the head and neck become engorged. Vision is impaired due to engorgement of the retinal vasculature. This usually occurs with accelerations in excess of -2g's. Headache is a common prodromal symptom prior to the occurrence of 'redout' - delirium and psychosis due to impairment of cerebral blood flow and oedema (swelling). This usually takes place at about -5g's.
