Uhh..hate to burst your bubble again, but -1 g would have you straining
at
your seatbelt with a force of 1 g.

+1 G plus -1 G equals 0 G. In the zero-G state, you're accelerating
downward
at 1 G, thus -1 G vertically. Since the acceleration due to gravity is +1
G,
they cancel, and the result is weightlessness.

You're accelerating downward at exactly 1 g, or 32 feet per second per
second. Zero g is zero g.


If you're not wearing one, you would be
exerting 1 g against the roof.

You'll want to heavily pad the entire cabin, anyway, since the return to
the 1
G state (and often higher than that, since you must pull out of the
parabola)
can be abrupt.

My seat belt can hold me in quite nicely at zero g. Even at -1 g, which
would have me exerting a 1 g force against the belt. I'm not flying the
freakin' vomit comet. I'm in a freakin' Tripacer and we're all strapped in.

Again...1 g is straight and level. Zero g is downward acceleration at 32
feet per second per second. -1 g is downward acceleration at 64 feet per
second per second.

it longer...which I now know how to do thanks to info from a real pilot)

P.S. I don't think I'm going to defend you against your flame club anymore.
