Grant Denyer had a turn, literally, on air this morning during a live Sunrise broadcast.
The weatherman and Bathurst driver was on board a plane with stunt fighter pilot Matt Hall flying at 4Gs when he agreed to push it to an eight G-Force live on air.
Melissa Doyle was very worried, and rightly so….

CNN’s Jeanne Moos actually did a report on it too: edition.cnn.com/video/?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=twitter&utm_campaign=cnni#/video/world/2013/02/21/tsr-moos-weatherman-black-out.cnn?eref=edition
He came to pretty quickly though after a few seconds. But watching the aircraft fly around like that would make anyone feel faint.
Kochie and Beretts couldnt watch the footage. It made them queasy watching that aircraft loop around.
Any sympathy for Grant went out the window when he challenged the pilot to intentionally push him to his limits. Grant didn’t have to pass out – he practically asked to when he said he wanted to see how he’d cope at 8G for long period. Idiot.
Get Kochie up there! Or better still, Karl Stefanovic – might shut him up for a few minutes.
I am never sure with this guy, as everything he seems to do seems intended to get him more media attention. Hope he is okay, but nothing would surprise me.
I think the video is damn hilarious
Best Harold Bishop impression ever!
I wish Grant all the best, and also Mel after Grant even put her in a tailspin, and reckon he now wishes that closest he’d got to 4G’s today, was on his telstra 4G mobile phone network.
But let’s not miss 2 other more significant milestones we have witnessed on live TV today, one being that a weather presenter was live on TV with a microphone only mm. from his lips, and his lips weren’t moving.
The second is possibly a little unfair, is how sorry I now feel for his wife, especially any morning he is home in bed, and she wakes up first.
What next now Grant?, perhaps the astronaut cyclotron launch simulator, I can only imagine him being giddy and experiencing between 4 to 8 G speeds.
Not sure what the microphone reference is about, but when you are broadcasting Live from so many thousand feet in the air there will be sync hiccups.
well at least he didn’t drop the f-bomb this time
@Nathanael – motorsport drivers only have to contend with lateral g-forces (and rarely above 4g). This puts a strain on their neck muscles but not much more unless they crash.
Doing an inside loop in an aircraft causes your blood to drain from the top of your body and pool in your legs. You lose consciousness due to anoxia (a lack of oxygen) in the brain.
Without training, a g-suit, or compression leggings g-LOC was always gonna start to happen after about 5g.
Poor Grant.
Reeks of the plot of Morning Glory… they aren’t that far behind in ratings, are they?
Being an ex Air Force man, I sometimes wonder why TV presenters do these stupid things without the weeks and months of training that the people that do these things have to do beforehand. Oh sorry I forgot TV presenters are invincible !
Seems like a motor racing driver should be slightly more capable of dealing with 4-8 G force.
Poor Grant, That would be my definition of a nightmare.
