The number of g-force experienced
on turn one at Indianapolis was just below the bobsled,
but is number one for duration, experiencing those Gs
for a full five seconds. Flying in at number two,
The Blue Angels. Pulling 10 Gs for up to three seconds, the extreme factor is so high,
you can lose consciousness and your breakfast. And at number one... the man who sacrificed his body to make life safer
for every g-force junkie to come, Colonel John Paul Stapp. His 44-year-old body endured
an eyeballs-out 25 Gs on the Sonic Wind. And you can't get much more
of an extreme factor than strapping yourself to a rocket sled. Ah, those were the good old days. He's the ultimate G-Force Jedi. I mean, I could see that one coming
