First of all, the sensation of "blood rushing to your head," is actually not blood. It's a fluid, (mostly water) from the vestibular sacs in your inner ear.

When your body is upside down, that fluid moves around, giving you the sensation of being upside down, and feeling liquid run to your head. But no blood ever actually goes to your head.

But can you die from it? It's not immediately dangerous, but our bodies weren't designed to be upside down for extended periods of time, so I wouldn't recommend it for more than a few seconds.
