High G-Force Centrifuge Training - Angry Planet

Adventurer & Angry Planet TV host George Kourounis tries his hand at high g-force astronaut & fighter pilot training inside 2 giant centrifuges, simulating a flight aboard Virgin Galactic's Spaceship 2.

Filmed as part of the Angry Planet TV series

and here I am freaking out on a roller coaster. They brave asf.

I'm a G-Force Junkie I know that this would probably take some training to do, but honestly as a one time sort of thing, I think i'd have a ball.

[herpderpmapleserp]

Wow this is awesome, astronauts and fighter pilots are badass

[Airknightangel]

Wish this thing was available in Greece!

[xxxx]

awesome that experience looks incredible...i really want to challenge myself and train until i can cope under these circumstantial.

[linyenchin]

I want to do this, it will be a great test of my own yogic breathing techniques :D

[orazal]

better go in there maybe i will become super saiyan saw that on tv

Remember, he did the Virgin flight vanilla, no G suit. if he was wearing even a lighter version of the G suit he wouldn't have felt the G's as much making it more comfortable for passengers. who knows, you may even get to keep them. i wonder what colour they'd be.

When I saw the thumbnail I thought that why would Lionel Messi take a G-Force training😂😂😂😂😂

[kbs]

Wow nice job! Not everybody gets that certificate, that's for sure.

[datpapi]

Who would want to pay to ride such plane and feel this?

[GANTZpts]

Though tests like this are interesting and all, from what I gather we only have been doing short upper Gs around 3 and up, but we Still haven't made or tried a prolonged test, in smaller Gs around 1.5gs.  

Like for example tuning a Graviton ride that's set to 1.5 Gs into a type research lab where they stay for a few days at a time.this can allow study on how our bones and muscle would react to prolonged higher gravity.     

We know what happens to our muscle in prolonged low and zero Gs, but not much about what would happen in prolonged higher G forces.

Is it bad that I like the feeling of g force on my body😂😂

G-Forces can make you feel sick to your stomach and they can make you pass out, but they don't really hurt, no. And 0-60 MPH is only the beginning of what he experienced. He went up to 3G which is is based on acceleration, not miles per hour. Hope this helped!

Is there anything similar to this near Moundsville, WV?  I think I would like to try this, and maybe even trying a G-suit, too.  In 1992, I had the luxury of riding Kenny's "Rotor" before it was dismantled.  It felt GREAT!  I'm guessing that a G-suit may feel a lot like blood pressure cuffs on your legs.  This all sounds more exciting than watching Jeopardy or football.  Yes, I'd like to take something like this for a test drive!

last year, at the centrafuge camp near houston, highest i got was 7.2, i was out...

[HuevoDuro]

In the thumbnail it looked like Lionel Messi

[kennedynichole]

There is a ride at a space and rocket center that simulates this. I rode it, it was terrible; I could barely breathe

[michaelroberts]

I've always wondered how an f1 driver would be able to cope with this, because i know that they do rigorous testing for g-forces.

It's a shame this looks so painful and unbearable because I was hoping to one day in the future take a Virgin Galactic flight, especially if the price tag comes down. If it's like this - never mind then.
