If you apply your safety experience to the rest of life, how does it work? What about the billion cars that pass each other every hour of every day with 150MPH closing speeds mere feet apart on the roads? Is that insane? By comparison, 100ft seems positively risk averse....

The pilot will be pulling a g amount on the pull-up. That will give a fairly consistent curve.
Added to that, if he did indeed have to do that, then so what? Do you think that display pilots are not constantly monitoring many parameters whilst displaying? It's called being a pilot.
