Why in the time honored manner of course, turn on the landing lights and if you see something you don't like, turn them off again.

Provided you are properly restrained you are capable of even higher than a transient 25g. The seats are designed to absorb the forces (deform) in a controlled manner.

Controlled for the aircraft and Transient fir the seats being the operative words.

Most fatals result from a departure from controlled flight ie the pilot in command changes his status to passenger.

Besides only bats and vampires fly at night.

At the end of the day it's always a risk calculation and whether your passengers are totally informed or not.
