Exactly,
I had 3 wedge fractures in my lower back, also a torn diaphragm. Any more G 
and the straps would have killed me! Fortunately the paramedic chopper was 
already airborne and 10 minutes away so I got to the table within the hour. 
Most bits they glued back on work again, {;-)
Also fortunately Ivan designed just enough strength in the airplane to keep 
the G within that narrow band that made an unsurviveable accident surviveable.
