Do We need more realistic humans in SoW?

You guys really get on a roll, don't ya?

So I guess outside loops would be IMPOSSIBLE then as people couldn't continue to safely fly, IF they even survived it.

Col. Stapp survived 46.2 negative Gs, went through total red-out, was just barely concious, burst all the capilaries in his eyeballs, and was blinded for about a day or so, but his retinas did not detatch, he did not suffer an aneurism, and he did not die.

We will never see that kind of negative G in flight (that was done with a rocket sled designed for testing the effects of Gs on the human body), so we don't have to worry about dying from it, no matter how well it's modeled.

But just as with the endless blackout-riding, there needs to be fatigue modelling to keep things from getting too out of hand.
