Answer
The highest g-force survived by a human is approximately 214g by race car driver Kenny Bräck in 2003 during a crash at Texas Motor Speedway. However, this was for a fraction of a second. For voluntary exposure, Colonel John Stapp endured 46.2g during rocket sled deceleration tests in 1954. These extreme examples involved exceptional safety euipment and very brief exposure times measured in milliseconds.
