    Imagine doing that and having to steer! It's what Navy pilots do routinely every time they're catapulted aloft - I think the G forces are probably GREATER in the catapulted jets. Of course, they've got headrests to prevent whiplash (I wonder if that girl's neck is a little sore after that) - but they do more than hang on - they have to keep their jet aimed at the sky while being smashed flat by the sudden G.

    You just know that in the not too distant future, some oof is going to say, “hey, I wonder how far we can shoot Bubba straight up into the air.†[at this point, close your eyes and visualize a Road Runner cartoon show :wacko: ]
