I just watched the “Near Death Experiences” (NDEs) episode of Penn & Teller’s Bullshit (S1 E12), and after seeing all those pilots and scientists in a centrifuge go into g-force induced loss of consciousness (g-LOC), it kind’ve made me want to try it myself. I wonder, where could one get a ticket to ride one of these to get the g-LOC experience?
According to the show, out of the total population about 18% will have an NDE when the blood supply gets cut off to the brain temporarily (they have to survive to tell about it at least). I think it’d be interesting to try – there wouldn’t seem to be any significant risks given that I’m a relatively healthy 19 year old kid.
In any case, I couldn’t find any companies online that will let you ride in a centrifuge for a price. Anyone know of some place where you can buy a ticket?
