The area under the curve doesn't matter if the peak isn't big enough.

A physically fit person can probably live normally at 2g all day with no problems other than feeling tired af until you get used to it and all farts being dangerous.

At 9Gs seconds matter no matter how fit you are.




Hang on. Explain the farts bit!


Guessing they meant "sharts".


Spent way too long trying to work out what a dangerous shart might do.


I know it's not exactly the same as living in a 2g environment, but many people seem to live surprisingly long lives with a body weight that is several times what it should be.


Blood in veins still only experiences 1g in this case. At 9 it really wants to be… elsewhere.


If you prop yourself upside-down against a wall before farting, you should be safe.


On a large enough time scale the survival rate for everyone is zero.


Might as well join the military and get your citizenship.
