BOISE, Idaho - A pilot missing for two days was found alive, dangling
upside-down in the wreckage of his single-engine plane in a heavily
forested area.

I know he was glad to be alive, and so am I.

Two days is a long time to go without relieving one's bladder. Taking a
leak upside-down is a pleasure I have never had, thankfully. ;-)

I can not imagine how his head and eyes must have felt, with all of the
blood rushing to his head for that long.

Are there any medical studies on prolonged exposure to negative one G, for
that long?

I can only presume that he was afraid of shifting weight upsetting the
plane's stability, and having it all fall further, if he attempted to free
himself.
