Barf bags don't work in zero G's

Fellow pilots, let's be nicer to our passengers than this pilot

a good time to pull zero G maneuvers!!

This is pretty funny though :-)

In my opinion this pilot would not end up on my list of people I would
recommend.
This "stunt" is unwise as a general rule, especially in aircraft like
this one; especially loaded with passengers; especially with baggage in
the baggage compartment; especially with that baggage not tied down and
secured; and most importantly, especially at the high rate of forward
pressure this pilot was obviously using to "create the effect".
It's very possible to take these airplanes right on through 0 g and into
negative g if this is done fast enough and these airplanes are not
designed for that. Carried to the extreme, this "stunt" could cause real
structural problems.
And all this doesn't even address the fact that at least one passenger
on this flight was taken from the role of passenger and made a victim by
this totally inappropriate, unprofessional, and unnecessary act of
stupidity by this pilot.
Demonstrating things like this in a loaded airplane is not the way to
impress the ladies.
I hope I've made my point on this perfectly clear.
Waht was that first part again?
