Note
Military pilots wear Anti-G trousers which are fitted with internal 'air bladders' which automatically inflate and apply counter pressure to the abdomen, thighs and legs that is in direct proportion to the g-loading experienced in flight. The aim of this is to prevent G-Force induced loss of consciousness.
