With all due respect, .3 - .8 lateral G's is far from a slam. Consider that lying on your side in bed, you experience 1G of lateral force.

Not trying to flame here, but a "g" is a term used to describe acceleration.

When you're lying on your side (or anywhere else) you are not moving. No acceleration at all (w/respect to the earth).

OK OK

I am not being accelerated while lying in bed. HOWEVER!!! I do experience a constant force that would accelerate me at 32 ft/sec2. So in that context, I feel the force of 1 G while lying in bed. Adding .3 more to that would be trivial, like having my middle son jump on me in bed.

;-)

later guys, gotta go fly from LGA to ATL (on DELTA with BOEING aircraft. only thing better would be Lockheed)
