message: It would be helpful to have some information about the nature of auditory effects (such as tin-can or underwater-like echoes) that occur during brown-outs.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 68.162.244.23 (talk • contribs) 15:25, 13 July 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  red out / brownout 

message: I had a greyout when I was eight years old after I hit my head on the edge of my porceline bathtub. I felt no pain, but saw a yellow light starting at the bottom of my vision range go straight up, and when it hit the top, I felt the pain and my vision returned. It lasted maybe five or six seconds. Why did that happen?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.173.9.155 (talk) 00:47, 15 June 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Greyout 

message: I've personally experienced greyout while riding "Goliath" at Six Flags Magic Mountain in Valencia, California.
Here's a link to an about.com review;
Goliath Hypercoaster
Here's a link to another wiki article about the ride, which shows 4 G's max in the infobox;
6flags Goliath wiki
The G-LOC article mentions that you can lose consciousness between 4 and 6 G's.

thread_title:  Rollercoaster greyout citation needed response 

message: There has been quite a bit of reverting lately over the phrase "Holding a hoot of weed in too long." If this claim can be reliably sourced, please add a citation and rewrite the terminology to fit in more appropriately with a medical context. Otherwise, the material may continue to be removed.

replies: text: Agreed. Ive passed out several times and can state (from personal experience only though) that the two symptoms are FAR from similar. A better example would be holding your breath for 2 or 3 minutes. I used to do heavy underwater stuff for long durations, eventually able to go about that long, but it would always cause pre-blackout conditions. Really, holding just air in for that amount of time would cause the problem. Pot could make it worse since your last breath was not heavily oxygenated, but its not the cause. 74.128.56.194 (talk) 22:18, 3 January 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  "Holding a hoot of weed in too long." 

message: As a long-term military aviator and flight surgeon, I have not encountered the term brownout before in any literature and have known the condition  referred to exclusively as greyout. Given that the term brownout is already well entrenched in rotary flight lexicon as the loss of visual contact with landing site prior to landing on sandy or dusty surfaces - hence the colour brown, and is akin to whiteout, which occurs in similar circumstances but over snowy surfaces, and further that brownout is also associated with electrical power generation (or lack thereof), recommend that the more commonly-used and understood term 'greyout' be used to describe the precursor visual affects to blackout. This usage would also bring the terminology into line with the complimentary negative Z-axis G-force phenomena terminology, pinkout and redout.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 206.191.118.34 (talk) 21:16, 1 March 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Brownout vs Greyout 

message: This happend to me once, after months of vertigo. I would pass out, but the only thing i saw was a burst of color orbs. Id fall over, immediatly wake up asking why i was on the floor. but every time, it was a sudden blackness and a burst of colorful orbs. this happend like five or six times before my parents ignored my objections and called for paramedics.
