General medical consensus states that the human brain can go without oxygenated blood for 3 to 5 minutes without suffering major brain damage. After this time has elapsed, the cells in the brain will begin to die from lack of oxygen, resulting in brain damage.

Why does blood go to your head when you go upside down?
The reason why is because when the heart pumps all that blood, it has to go somewhere. So it goes through your legs and arms and stays there I guess. So when you go upside down, the blood will go down and eventually go down into your brain. That's why it isn't good for someone to stay upside down for a long period of time.
