The head and thereby the brain are spun at a radius of about half the size of the human. Therefore a signifcant centrifgual force will applied to the brain and blood will be pumped into Head and Brain at relatively high pressure. And for the head these are negative g's, where humans are much less toelrant than positive g's. In this case, assuming a radius of ~0,75m and a rate of ~2 gyrations per second I arrive at >-10g. Which as a sustainend load is quite a bit.
But I just saw the damage to the brain/head this case was not too big. I was concerned it might have led to intracranial hemorrage.
