Saw that before. It's hard to imagine the G's these guys pull so low to the ground. Does look like fun.
From a physiology standpoint, Matt describes the "G-excess phenomenon" to a tee. This really needs to go into current lectures on spatial disorientation ASAP. I only have a few good video examples of this phenomenon, but this trumps every one of them by miles, to have Matt describe it in his own words, exactly how we know it to occur. If any of you chatters teach this stuff, or know anyone who does, PM me and I can clarify if needed. This really is a teachable moment.
