How much acceleration is 142 ft/s²?

142 ft/s² (4.413g) is several g-forces — comparable to a fighter jet in a sharp turn (4-8g) or a Formula 1 car under heavy braking.

Did you know? Fighter jet turn (5g) is 50 m/s².

Fighter pilots experience up to 9g (88 m/s²) in combat turns. G-suits prevent blackout.
