Not necessarily incorrect! Remember that this is an instantaneous shock load and
not
a sustained load. Slapping your hands together hard can generate an
instantaneous
load of 20-30g's.
grab a g meter and bring it down even moderately hard on your thigh and I can
guarantee
than you can easily pass
9g's (tried it last night) so Ron's 9g specification for a landing load I
suspect
is not
too far off the mark.
