Negative G's are what you do while flying aerobatic outside maneuvers.
They can make your eyes all red.


They can also cause retinal damage and hemorrhagic CVAs. Quite a risk
to take for a brief thrill. It's much safer to pass out briefly with
positive Gs, which typically has no sequelae. (Of course, if you're
flying, you'll want to avoid this, too.)
