Zipping around earth at those speeds (4,000 mph) means passengers will experience huge g loads just accelerating and decelerating - imagine the g loads they will experience taking a few curves at top speed. There's a valid reason why jet fighter pilots wear g suits, even then they're limited to less than 10 g's for a few seconds at a time and they are in great physical shape. I can only imagine a humpty dumpty effect if passengers in as poor a shape as I am riding around in these 4,000 mph vehicles making a quick stop.

Not sure of the validity, but if you watch the video it states that this method only pulls 1g.
