gravity-induced loss of consciousness

gravity-induced loss of consciousness Gravity-induced loss of consciousness (G-LOC) is a blackout caused by high gravitational force, especially in the head-to-foot direction, when blood flow to the brain is disrupted and cerebral hypoxia occurs.

Gravity-induced loss of consciousness (G-LOC) is a blackout caused by high gravitational force, especially in the head-to-foot direction, when blood flow to the brain is disrupted and cerebral hypoxia occurs. In aviators, it can be followed by at least about 30 seconds without purposeful movement even after the force is removed.
