> When it comes to the G-Forces being pushed on you, many roller coasters have peak G’s at or above these limits. Most people are probably familiar with the different rides at Walt Disney World so let’s use those for examples. At EPCOT, Mission Space is a centrifuge-based ride where you go through a simulated launch and landing on Mars. The sustained G’s on that ride is 2.5 G’s, close to how many G’s New Shepard will experience during launch.

> For the descent, Blue Origin says you must be able to withstand 5.5 G’s, if you ever rode Rock ‘n Roller Coaster at Disney’s Hollywood Studios, you would have experienced up to 5 G’s during the initial launch of the ride.

Epcot Mission Space (the "Orange" version) is pretty intense as it's really sustained G-forces, but manageable. During the ride, you have to reach in front of you to press some buttons, and that's when you feel the G-forces most. But for SpaceX/BlueOrigin, passengers do nothing.

Rock n Roller Coaster itself for the peak G is done by kids, not a big deal.

This is slightly misleading - what matters isn't the peak G force experienced, but moreso the integral of force over time. In a roller coaster you might experience 5Gs, but only for a moment. Astronauts experience 3G, but for up to 5 minutes continuously

On the Gravitron, a centrifuge carnival ride in the shape of a flying saucer, riders experience 3Gs for minutes. Best carnival ride as a kid, we rode it continuously for ages.

The area under the curve doesn't matter if the peak isn't big enough.

A physically fit person can probably live normally at 2g all day with no problems other than feeling tired af until you get used to it and all farts being dangerous.

At 9Gs seconds matter no matter how fit you are.

and you experience a huge number of Gs if you fall and bang your head; Concussion occurs at 90-100G!

I rode Epcot Mission Space Orange, and I didn't realize it was a centrifuge. I thought it just cleverly tipped you on your back to simulate G-forces. It certainly felt real, so it's neat to know that it was.

That ride is a puke machine. I was talking to one of the workers and they said their main job is cleaning up puke all day.

I loved it.
