Visual blackout during high GZ acceleration is not an unusual phenomenon. Bradycardia is often seen following similar acceleration exposure. An instance of prolonged visual loss associated with bradycardia following a +6 GZ acceleration is described. Possible mechanisms are proposed, and significance in the study of high acceleration is discussed.
