1) When pilots fly aircraft, they can experience acceleration forces greater than 1 G, called G-forces, which act on the body in different directions. 2) High positive Gz forces from head to toe can reduce blood flow to the brain and eyes, potentially causing loss of vision, grayout, blackout, and loss of consciousness if blood flow is not maintained. 3) Negative Gz forces from toe to head also reduce blood flow, but back to the heart and head, potentially causing "red out" of vision and loss of conscio
