That has to be one heck of a G-shift as that bomb rolls out the back door. I would imagine that the C-17 tilts upward at least 15-20 degrees by the time the bomb reaches that position and then just as quickly the tail end pops back level as the plane once again returns to a normal G load index again once the bomb is away.

That was a test at Edwards last week...actually, they say it is for shooting satellites into low orbit out the back of C17s...but one wonders!
