Inertial dampeners work by creating a counter attacking gravity field to simulate acceleration in the opposite direction of the aircraft movement.

Through acceleration, we can see the human body deform, like one part of the body is pulling another.

By applying a gravitational field that pulls all the cells in unison against the vector and acceleration we effectively create inertial dampener

Well thats my idea anyway. :P
