G-force $g_0$

A typical person can handle about 5 $g_0$ (49 m/$s^2$).

This is the number of times the Gravitational Force.

Isn’t there also horizontal g-force and vertical g-force? Like a-rest, you are pulling 1g vertically, but 0g horizontally?

• Yes! look at the Wikipedia article

Humans are better at surviving horizontal g-force.
