Typically, you can't generate enough G to do any structural damage - any G that you can generate transiently decreases pretty rapidly in both time and amount of G.
Most I've ever seen was on the Flight Data Recorder for a helicopter that had a main rotor servo hardover - I think that was all of 3.2G. Mind you most helicopter pilot seem to black out at about 2G… (he said tongue in cheek)
