To answer this I'll tell you how the G suit works. The suit is only pair of Chaps that has a waist that wraps around your gut. It has a hose that plugs into the aircraft which forces compressed air into bladders built into the suit. When the aircraft makes tight turns, causing g loads on the pilot, it forces the air into the lower legs, thighs, and gut area to force blood back up into the torso and to prevent it from pooling into your legs. If you lose too much blood from your head under these loads you WILL lose consciousness and pass out. Once you pass out you will lose control and risk crashing. The G suit does not do all the work however, it only helps. The pilot or passenger in the aircraft still has to do an enourmous amount of work to retain consciousness. He must flex the muscles in his legs and abs as hard as he can and take short, forced breaths. If you have ever lifted weights at a gym with your legs for an extended period of time, you have a small idea of how much stress it is on your body.

Why do fighter pilots wear g-suits?
if a fighter pilot pulls a really sharp turn the blood will try to pull away from his head, with the risk of him becoming unconscious. The g-suit compresses his body, making it easier for him to keep some blood in his brain and remain awake to fly the plane.
Who would wear safety boots?
People that need some protection for their feet. The most common is safety toed footwear, which has a hard cap to provide limited protection against impact from falling objects. People that wear those include mechanics, fire fighters, masons, carpenters, ironworkers, warehouse workers and jet fighter pilots. Nope- really- fighter pilots use them. Other types of safety boots can include electrical protection, protection from penetration of the sole (nails), chemical protection and so on. There is a special safety boot worn by people that fuel aircraft. It is designed to prevent static electrical sparks.

Yes you do. Seat belt keeps you from sliding under the shoulder belt. Shoulder belt keeps your body (and head) from slamming forward into things like the dashboard. Put them both on. If it bothers you, pretend you are flying a jet fighter. Pilots wear them too.

Why did pilots wear silk scarves during World War 1?
Three reasons: 1. To keep warm - the wind whipping around the head and shoulders worked its way under the leather flying jacket. 2. To prevent the leather flying jacket from chafing the neck. 3. To wipe engine grease from the goggles.
