Hell, I've been flyin' thirty long years and I'm still scared by those doggone aloominum tube things. How they ever fly without rotor blades I'll never know (spits in tin can).

Seriously, 2.5 G is enough to loop the aircraft and there is a safety margin above that.

So don't worry about it until you hear the pilots screaming through the locked door and your lunch goes to the ceiling.
