Human tolerance studies related to inflight rolling (tumbling) accelerations are discussed, with emphasis on the need to provide data on combinations of Gy, as experienced during an anomalous roll aboard Gemini VIII during which upper body (-) Gz forces and lower body (+) Gz forces were experienced. The study also points to the need to provide data on tolerances to (+) or (-) Gy combined with (-) Gz, in addition to the lowered tolerances to Gy and Gz accelerations experienced by those adapted to microgravity. It is noted that such data can be used to establish limits on spacecraft acceleration maneuvering specifications.
