G-LOC



g-induced Loss Of Consciousness (abbreviated g-LOC) is a condition where a person loses consciousness because g-forces move the blood away from the brain (black out) or move excess blood towards the brain (red out). The condition is most often linked to astronauts and pilots of fighter planes.
