humans cant handle anything higher than 8g's

i also doubt the X1 can pull more than 4g's

Some of the crashes in F1 have been 150g or so. Depends on how you define the G I suspect.
Oh and they easily survived those 100+G accidents too.

The (lowercase) g is defined as per Earth's mean gravitational pull at sea level. The (uppercase) G isn't open for interpretation, it's the "gravitational constant".

What I suspect you mean is the difference between instantaneous and sustained forces. Imagine the force on your feet the moment you land as they suddenly come to a stop; this is why your feet sting when you land hard. Yet the force you feel overall during the landing is much lower, because you bend your legs to absorb the force. Don't try this: jump about half an inch off the ground, but keep your knees (and everything else) locked for the landing. Nasty.

Car crashes are the same, which is why they try to make them last as long as possible, to reduce the mean / overall acceleration, and hence the sustained g-force by the successive crumpling of parts (like your legs, back etc. when you land).

wrong.

F1 cars of today pull up to 6g from braking and cornering

X1 can definitely pull up to 10g but its not real anyway wether its about its performance or easiness it doesn't exist

ofcourse humans can handle 10g's

Redbull air race pulls 12g's but obviously they only pull 12 g's for a few seconds.

just like an F1 car its not like you pull over 5g's all the time.

the longest 5+G corner in formula 1 is in Istanbul , just under 4 seconds of 5G

and actually if it was to be 8 seconds the tyre's of an F1 car would burst, F1 cars are made to be as quick as possible through the corners.


G is simple , 5G means 5x your weight

so if you weight 200 pounds you will feel an extra 1000 pounds heavier so you basically weigh 1200 pounds at 5G.

G can be fatal and in simple terms you can stop the blood from flowing to your brain and that can kill you.


the G in GT5 is not accurate

most roadcars would only do over 1G

LMP cars would do 3G

FGT would do 4g

F1 would do 5g

The human body can survive extreme g-forces of 100g for extremely short periods of time. A car crash takes place in a fraction of a second. It is not prolonged acceleration. Even then, people involved in such car crashes are lucky to walk away, and even those that do will have permanent damage.

The human body however, cannot withstand 8g or more for a prolonged amount of time. This is because your blood cannot flow properly, and as you brain is starved of oxygen, your heart rate will rapidly rise until you undergo cardiac arrest and die. It would certainly not be a pleasant way to die.

Even if you don't exceed 8g, continuous forces on the body for long periods of time do not do good. We have all seen gravity win the fight when you see someone who is fat and old sagging. Likewise even healthy fight-jet pilots can have back problems from the excessive forces exerted on their bodies.

If you looked closely, it says 2G and then a + or a -
