There is no such thing as a man surviving over 20g's is there??

Question

It is impossible! b/c jet pilots go up to 9-12 g's for like a second cuz they will black out if they go more than that or even die....there is no way a person can survive over 15 gs rite? or am i wrong cuz i read online that someone survived 148 g's??

Answer 1

they can go higher...

but usually only an astronaut does higher n not until they have been in similators n slowly got there body accustomed to the pressure on there bodys

Answer 2

pilots pass out around 9 Gs.

they don't die.

people have survived far higher.

<<Colonel John Stapp in 1954 sustained 46.2 g in a rocket sled, while conducting research on the effects of human deceleration.>>

Answer 3

The NHTSA standard for a sudden impact acceleration on a human that would cause severe injury or death is 75 g's for a "50th percentile male", 65 g's for a "50th percentile female", and 50 g's for a "50th percentile child". These figures assume the human is taking the impact on the chest/stomach, the back, sides or the head. The average value is about 65 g's, so I used that for the fatal impact acceleration on a human being."  Of course this is instaneous acceleration, a prolonged acceleration of 4 to 6 g's for a few seconds could be fatal also.
