I forget exactly where I read it, maybe in the Rama book series by Arthur C. Clark, this concept is utilized to protect the human astronauts when an alien ship begins massive acceleration. The aliens place the humans in tanks filled with a very dense liquid. The humans float laying down on the very surface of the liquid, and this allows the ship to accelerate at speeds which would normally kill a human. I’ve always wondered if this would actually work.
