An instantaneous acceleration of 5.7G which was a pure peak might well not be felt by a human as that high, depending on the shape of the peak. The 5/7G was calculated from system characteristics and not from recorded accelerometer data
The calculated theoretical vertical load that would have been instantaneously generated when the landing gear bottomed out was at least 5.7g, which exceeded the design criteria for the landing gear
