Will passengers have to get a pre-flight physical before pulling 9 G’s

Per Google:

At Mach 7, the G-forces experienced by an object can be up to 9 G1. Fighter pilots can withstand up to about 9 G for a second or two, but sustained G-forces of even 6 G would be fatal2. Astronauts endure around 3 G on lift-off2.

Re: Google

Garbage in, garbage out.

G forces are created by acceleration.

Mach 7 is a speed, not an acceleration. “At Mach 7, the G-forces experienced by an object can be up to 9G” is a nonsensical statement to my mind.
