Oh yes, you have to go through it to get from +1 top -1, as you'd expect, but it's a fleeting moment - you don't really sustain 0g for any amount of time. I didn't anyway. It's a pretty odd feeling, not viciously painful like -5, just odd. Discombobulating.

Why is -5 painful? What's your blood trying to do at that point?

It's trying to burst out of the top of your head. At -5, -6 you start bursting blood vessels in your eyes and your nose and the pressure of the blood in your brain is fantastically painful. Lots of guys have died pushing -8 onwards when something lets go and they have a big bleed on the brain.

Negative g is really quite unpleasant.
