You won't crash if your g/speed is as low as 50 kts as long as your airspeed is above the stall!! Aerodynamics for beginners chapter 1 folks!!

Even the 'bus couldn't get the thrust up/down quick enough if a very sudden gust knocked the speed up/down 50 kts.

Aircraft do not stay in the air because of g/speed - it's airspeed. That's how every aircraft that doesn't have gs mini does it.
