Oh dear haha looks like our foreign friend Angel Gutierrez never learned history and especially didn't learn about the Battle Of Britain. Love the fact his comment is written in English too :)

[@charliewalker6519]

Angel Gutierrez in all honesty though the Americans didn't decide to just join in when things looked rough for Britain, they joined in because of an attack on Pearl Harbour by the Japanese. Correct me if i'm wrong but as far as i know America had no intentions of helping until Japan forced their hand. Also saying Americans saved the Brits downplays the sacrifice that Russia made where for every 1 US solider that died around 80 Soviet soldiers did. Without Russia it's quite likely that both the US and the UK would have fallen due to the Germans having advanced technology and a strong military. Russia was 100% the deciding factor in WW2, not America.

but its laterall G

[@Lukavichiano]

Although what they do is impressive, it's not exactly comparable to this because the Gs they experience are only during cornering and not constant. Therefore providing moments of reprieve.

[@ShadowManceri]

It's only couple seconds and the recovery is near instant without long lasting effect. It's basically no different than jumping very hard without getting tired. In fact, high jump can causes more G's than F1 car does. The real challenge becomes when those forces are applied for long time consistently, like in a fighter jet doing difficult maneuvering.

Given that generally speaking the fitter you are the lower your blood pressure is ... it might not be entirely surprising that he is able to not pass out. The other guy was almost definitely much fitter than Jezza and probably has a lower blood pressure on average as a result ... maybe why he passed out and Jeremy didn't!
