Question about the fwd load rating

Okay, this makes me curious. What is the reason for a 9G fwd requirement? Seems to me longitudinal accelerations would be pretty small normally (less than 1 G). Is it something to do with withstanding minor taxi collisions?

Or is it just a typo - should have been .9G perhaps?
