Well the good news is that there has probably never been a better time to be rescued by the good looking Phoenix fire department.

Concerning the physiological effects of the incident , I suspect having the rotation point centered about the midriff and thus "centrifugal/hydraulic balanced" would mitigate lopsided blood pressure increase somewhat. I 'd hazard a guess that negative G tolerance is likely much higher in this configuration versus the oft quoted -2 to -3 of fighter pilots/astronauts.

Now can you come up with a better set of test subjects than the Phoenix fire dept. spokes team?
Perhaps a follow up press conference with the canned plastic air of a primetime TV denture advertisement.
Whirling down from 8 g's , then sitting up straight "See..just fine! Ready to start the day!"
