What is the maximum G-force a human can survive?

Answer
Humans can survive brief exposures of 40-50g with proper restraints, though this often causes severe injuries. With modern safety euipment and body positioning, race car drivers have survived crashes exceeding 100g for milliseconds. However, sustained forces above 5-6g can cause unconsciousness in untrained individuals. Fighter pilots with G-suits can withstand 9g for short periods. The duration of exposure is critical—forces tolerable for milliseconds become deadly when sustained.
