This ride is a VR ride IIRC. There are no real G forges anymore than there is weightlessness (another one of the special effects) it is real a ride that tricks the senses with slight motions and visual effects. I don't think the ride could kill anyone unless it scared them to death or had a major mechanical malfunction.

Not true. There are very real G forces involved. I have been on this ride quite a few times and love it. It uses a type of centrifuge to create the force.

The g forces are real. I have read this ride. You get into little rooms and are spun around by an arm like the ones nasa uses to test astronauts. However, you don't see the arm or spinning device, you are instead given a 'window' which looks like you are leaving the earth. It is extremely scary because it felt so realistic. I was literally terrified. I did not let my 5 year old ride two years ago and will not let him ride next month when we are going back to disney and he will be 7. You can certainly feel the g forces.

There ARE G-forces, the ride is a centrifuge.
