@liamanderson4992 Don't really see a reason for that. They might have blacked out for a moment, but that's it. Sure, if they would stand around and then be thrown around, of course, but pretty sure they sit and wear a seatbelt and since the force is boing up/down, they wouln't even get whiplash injuries (G force isn't high enough for that anyway, it's not like a car crash, where you got lower speed, but speed isn't the probolem, the increase or redecution is and a car crash changes your speed very quickly.
When you got a car crash with 25 mph, that's already 160g, because you stop abruptly. And you still CAN survive that of course, while the risk for heavy injury and even death is clearly there.
What we see here is a joke in comparison.
Yes, it won't feel nice, but it's still quite smooth and not even close to such levels.
Car crash with 10 mph would still already have 25g - and be quite surviveable and in the case of the rockets its even better because the accelation pushes from up and down, the human body can way better tolerate that.
