What is 6g gravity?

Answer

6g represents 6 times normal Earth gravity (58.8 m/s² acceleration). This force is experienced by astronauts during some rocket launches and fighter pilots during combat turns. A 70 kg person would experience an effective weight of 420 kg. At 6g, your blood weighs six times normal, making it extremely difficult for your heart to pump blood to your brain without countermeasures, likely causing vision problems or blackouts in untrained individuals.
