Watching videos of "normal" people riding as passengers in fighter jets, you often see them pass out briefly. The pilots are have the training and strategies to push their G limits much much higher, but even so it's still a risk.

I wonder how long until we see a G-LOC accident in a modern fast accelerating electric car... I'm sure today's fastest accelerating street legal cars can do things to a body/brain that some people wouldn't be able to tolerate. (And also, if you consider how much ground you cover in the very brief 0-60 of a modern Tesla, it suggests that a poor choice with the right foot could lead to a very quick bad situation!)
