Robert Kubica who crashed during the Canadain Grand Prix apparently sustained 75G's when he slammed into a wall after trying to pass Jarno Trulli



The cockpit data recorded one of the highest ever survived G force reading as he hit the concrete wall at 143 mph, shattering his car.
Experts say the car's survival cell, enhanced crash boxes, HANS device, cockpit head rest and helmet all conspired to keep the Pole in one piece with only minor injuries

To put that into perspective Aerobatic and fighter pilots may sometimes experience a greyout between 6 and 9 g.
Pilots in the Red Bull Air Race commonly exceed 10 g for seconds during turns, occasionally surpassing 12 g.
Formula One drivers usually experience 5 g while braking, 2 g while accelerating, and 4 g while cornering.

To put that in prospective, say he has a body mass of 70kg (11st). When he hit the wall his body alone was exerting a force equal to that of 5 1/4 tonnes...

That's more than 3x 4th gens...

Even with all the technology - he was lucky.

Didn't see the crash but heard about it plenty.
