The forces from a rocket launch are a big consideration in satellite with weight limiting the mechanical design. This would seem magnitudes worse.

The G’s from one of those slingshot rides are bad enough! I can’t even fathom 10,000x. I’m no expert but I’d imagine that would crush a car pretty quick.

Yeah, 10,000 gs?! About the only thing that will survive launch is a solid metal sphere. So great if you want to launch calsats, kind of useless for any real satellite.
