I note that a recent 737 accident pulled in excess of 5 "g". Must find it just a little bit more than disconcerting if not previously experienced. ie adding to the mix of trouble you find yourself in.
You are possibly referring to the Adam Air Indonesia Boeing 737 that got into a steep spiral dive in IMC while both pilots were reading a checklist on an IRS malfunction. The captain had no idea how to correctly recover; meaning the advice in the FCTM meant nothing to him or the copilot. The FDR read-out revealed he simply hauled back hard during the spiral and pulled the wings off. No future in that...
It also showed that his presumed "training" in the simulator for unusual attitude recovery was either non-existent or poor quality. Either way his basic instrument flying skill was appalling. The latter is more common in many of today's airline pilots used to blind reliance on automatics, than national civil aviation authorities often care to admit.
