Well, the math for the vertical acceleration is simple: -8600 to +8600 fpm (diff = 94 m/s) in (13 s) squared needs appr. 0.6 g, + earth pull makes 1.6 g vertical ballpark. This is of course only a very rough avg. estimate because vert. speeds are secondary data derived from diff between individual ADSB altitude transmissions, therefore peak acceleration could be significantly more.
