In order for astronauts and fighter pilots to withstand the large amount of G-forces incurred upon takeoff, high-G training is a critical part of the preparation for any launch. This is to prevent G-induced loss of consciousness caused by the forced movement of blood from the brain to the lower extremities. Research done since the 1970s has shown that training to resist G-induced loss of consciousness significantly extends the pilot's resistance to blackouts and extends their G-tolerance in both magnitude and duration. The method of training pilots to withstand these high G-loads is fairly simple: stick them in a really big centrifuge and spin them around really, really fast. Naturally, this has found a home in media, often exaggerated for comedic effect. Characters subjected to the centrifuge will appear to be traveling at Ludicrous Speed, complete with comically Flapping Cheeks, eyeballs bugged out, and squashed faces. In some cases, the hapless victims may even be Squashed Flat. Note that this applies to more than just training centrifuges. For example, carnival rides provide another common source of hilarity. Normally harmless amusement rides become whirling machines of doom and vomit (whether hinted at or shown explicitly) in the hands of overzealous writers. Or some character could forcefully spin one or more enemies to incapacitate them with dizziness symptoms. After being subjected to the insanity, characters will often stumble off in a daze, followed up by a Non Sequitur, *Thud*. Sub-Trope of Spectacular Spinning.

Becomes a minor plot point in the Chuck episode "Chuck vs. the Gravitron". Chuck is fleeing from a Fulcrum agent, and ducks inside the Gravitron ride at a carnival. The device gets activated, and Chuck and the villain end up flattened against the walls as it spins up. This leads to a scene of them crawling along the walls as Chuck continues his attempt to escape. When the device stops Chuck and the villain get flung into each other, and the villain is incapacitated. | |

Slim tries to get him to throw it up by Force Feeding him a ton of liquid soap and then spinning him in circles.

T-Bone and Razor are seen training in a dual centrifuge in an episode of SWAT Kats: The Radical Squadron, justified because they're vigilantes that fly an insanely fast Cool Plane and would need to train for the high g-forces the Turbo Kat would put them through. Their reactions while in the centrifuge are downplayed with Razor showing the most facial effects and passing out while T-Bone powers on through, something that Razor feels ashamed of. Towards the end of the episode, he actually stays conscious when T-Bone is forced to put the Turbo Kat through even higher speeds... only to find out that T-Bone, the pilot of their jet passed out instead! | |

In The Last Hero, Leonard straps Rincewind into a Clock Punk centrifuge machine (the diagram of which looks a lot like the Vitruvian Man) before their dragon-powered spaceflight, on the basis that the only way to train for the unexpected is with unexpected training. Before his experience in the centrifuge, Rincewind protests that they're heading for certain death, which you don't need any training for; afterwards he says that if you did, that would be it. | |

One of the more light-hearted moments in First Man is Neil Armstrong's first experience with the three-axis centrifuge, especially when a clearly addled Armstrong goes to his next training class only to get a massive Doorstopper of a textbook (figuratively) thrown at him. However, the scene is also an opportunity for him to show how cool he is under pressure (and a foreshadowing of his much more serious encounter with centrifugal g-forces on his Gemini 8 mission). | |

Moonraker: While on a tour of Drax' aerospace facility, James Bond is put in such a machine by Holly Goodhead and given a spin. While he is undergoing this, Holly is called away and Drax's henchman Chang takes over, turning the dial up and subjecting Bond to multiple gravities of force. Just before falling unconscious, Bond uses one of his gadgets to shoot the control panel and turn the machine off. When Goodhead shows up to get him out of the machine, the normally unflappable Bond is so rattled that he can't even come up with a witty quip. | |

They are required to ride 30 amusement park rides in two hours, including roller coasters, with the intent that they will end up getting sick on camera. It works - several of them end up puking their guts out. | |

At one point, Buttercup attempts to attack the monster with a military helicopter. The monster grabs the helicopter by its rotors, causing it to spin out of control. When Buttercup lands, she turns a sickly green and throws up in a trash can. | |

One episode of Arthur has an amusement park ride called the Hurl-a-Whirl that does pretty much Exactly What It Says on the Tin: basically a dumbbell-type centrifuge, except the car itself spins perpendicular to the arm as well.

An episode of Home Improvement attempts to do this but fails spectacularly. Tim is undergoing astronaut training after a Binford tool is selected to go on the shuttle and they get to send a Binford employee along to use it. During the training Tim is put in a "G-force chair" which is where the attempt falls flat on its proverbial face. The chair is not a proper centrifuge but is merely a fancy chair that spins like any normal office chair. He wouldn't have experienced any G's, just gotten vary dizzy. Nevertheless, he still ends up with a cartoonishly distorted face curtesy of a basic smug tool. | |

In Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater, you can do this to Snake at will by spinning him around in the Survival Viewer. If Snake's sick from eating rotten or poisoned food, you can cure him by forcing him to vomit. You can also escape from the prison cell by making Snake vomit, then taking out the guard when he comes in to check on you. | |

In the My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic episode "Wonderbolts Academy", the Dizzytron is an obvious parody of this trope. It's also an unusual usage, as it's designed to launch pegasi into the air after it's done spinning — the pegasi are then timed on how quickly they can recover and land safely. Presumably anyone who doesn't recover quickly enough washes out. | |

In Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla II, Kazama Aoki is put in a similar device while training to pilot Mechagodzilla. The chair spins in place instead of around an object. | |

Not related to training, but on The Iron Giant, Hogarth and the Giant are playing test pilot with an old car. The Giant spins the car a little faster than Hogarth imagined. | |

Happy Heroes: In Season 10 episode 1, one of the incidents that Happy S. and his fellow Supermen ignore on their way to school is a bunch of people being sent driving at high speed on a malfunctioning roller coaster, with the roller coaster car creating a large flame in front of it from how quick it's going. Happy S., missing the cue to help them, responds with "They're having so much fun!". | |
