To be scientifically correct, it's called a G-LOC. Gravity Induced Loss of Conciousness. It happens mostly to aerobatic pilots during high G maneuvers but it can happen to coaster enthusiasts like us too. It's happened to me before only once, and that was on Flight Deck at Canada's Wonderland. Only 4.5 G's but too much for me (atleast back then). All I remembered was everything went dark for like 2 seconds and after that, the sunlight hurt my eyes! Its like when you wake up in the middle of the night and turn on the lights how it hurts your eyes. I was so freaked out when that happened (because I thought it was scary) but at the same time I kinda thought it was cool seeing what G forces can do to you! I'm pretty sure it was the positive G's as I don't ahve any health condition that could cause that to happen, neither am I on any medications other than my daily vitamins and allergy medicine. Well it could've also be my fear of heights...

 

I guess I'm never going to be an astronaut or an aerobatic pilot...
