A high "g" protection system for a crewmember of an aircraft includes a seat and an upper torso support. The upper torso support is preferably secured to the crewmember's suit and to the seat. The torso support has a support plate and a support member which allow the crewmember to be supported and restrained while in a leaned forward or crouched position while enhancing the crewmember's tolerance to "g" forces. Another embodiment of the invention uses a pair of approximately positioned armrests to provide torso support. The seat is provided with a repositionable seat pan which allows the crewmember's knees to be raised bringing him into a more crouched position or, conversely, allows the crewmember's knees to be lowered reducing the crewmember's angle of crouch, as may be desired.
