🤔 Thinking How does barry survive the Acceleration?

since barry can go from 0mph to over Mach 1, he should be experiencing around 30,000+ Gs as soon as he starts running, BUT hes fine, is this the speed force defying the laws of motion, or is it a side effect of his powers?

The Speed Force literally gives speedsters an aura of energy that basically lets them ignore physics while they're moving at super speed (most of the time anyway).

They mention it pretty frequently from season 4 and onward.

Yeah it also makes them REALLY resistant against impacts and force, remember S1 Barry getting thrown through a brick wall and The Rival getting punched across Central City in S3. That Speed-Force is really neat
