Weatherman Grant Denyer found out the hard way what G-Forces can do to the uninitiated, passing out cold on air during yesterday’s broadcast.
As shocked Sunrise co-host Mel Doyle watched on via a satellite hook-up, Denyer was taken through his paces by Australian stunt fighter pilot Matt Hall who obliged when Denyer asked that he wanted to know what eight G-Force felt like.
A typical person can handle about 5-G before losing consciousness, although modern pilots can typically handle a sustained 9 G-forces.
“My whole body just started to feel all warm and cozy to be honest,” Denyer said later.
“I had no idea I passed out. But I was out for about six or seven seconds.”
