“There was a show just on that had footage of an F-18 crashing at
an air show.
The Marine pilot survived the estimated 75G stop.”
IIRC, during the airing of that segment, the narrator said that the
fellow set a record for “survival of G-forces” during that accident.
The narrartor mentioned it, but I can’t recall the level of G-forces
in the previous “record holder” that became “second place” in the category.
I thought the narrator said 30Gs(?) was considered fatal, but I seem to recall an F-111 cockpit hitting the ground at ~37Gs. The one or both crewman suffered cracked vertebrae.
