"Speed bumps and vomit are the Hyperloop’s biggest challenges"

TopWargamer

We would need need lots of padding to prevent users from moving or falling out of their seats and to make their ride more pleasant. They would need to find ways to lower the maximum Gs since people feel sick after 0.2Gs and the hyperloop is trying to keep it under 0.5Gs which is not good enough imo.

You do realize both 0.2 Gs & 0.5 Gs are negative Gs, meaning you're lighter than normal, nearing weightlessness? A simple solution is just to not accelerate from 0 to 200+ mph in 3.2 seconds :P, speed in itself doesn't create Gs, it's the acceleration or turning force.

They need to use a fighter aircraft/space shuttle seat. Should be ok with that amount of acceleration.

Well its 0.2 and 0.5Gs above normal, so its 1.2G if you want. And in the project file of the hyperloop that Musk released he said that people start to feel motion sick at about 1G forward/backward and 0.5G laterally. If the hyperloop is equipped with good seat that should reduce the discomfort is there is one. Im pretty sire Elon Musk is smart enough to figure out a way
