Academic I know in the (tragic) circumstances but I'm another one not "buying" some elements of the GLOC graph presented into evidence earlier.

Am I misreading it or it is seriously suggesting that a progressive "squeeze" to 5 g in 5 seconds - the green line, will lead to GLOC?

A further thought - I believe the early ballistic ejection seats could hit 20G plus - not great for the back/neck, but not necessarily an instant bone breaker either...
