F-15 Accelerometer?

GG. I found something:

 

PhysOrgForum

read at the bottom of page:

 

just to let you guys know most of you are wrong... the body even untrained has been shown to accept about 17 g's without apparent harm, not to mention the 1973 crash of David Purley in which he experienced 179.8 g's after his throttle got stuck and he hit a wall. he survived. As well as the voluntarily applied g forces that John Paul Stapp experienced equaling 46.2 g's

Is that possible??? How many g's could experience that guy whose fld down from top of skyscrapper last time...?

Time is critical with G loads, and we are talking miliseconds, not seconds here. It's wrong to say how many Gs a person experienced as a constant decelleration is impossible to achieve in practice. That's why there should be a graph for all of us to see how those 179.8 Gs accumulated, and ofcourse in how much time, otherwise it's pointless throwing around G values in here.

^^^^

Exactly. The more G's you experience, the less time you have to experience them for to avoid damage. You could take 200G's so long as they don't happen for long enough to tear your organs out of place.

Further, it depends on how you experience those G's ... experiencing 180G's against pavement ... well. You become part of the pavement :D
