I am just reiterating what I had posted on another thread, but I am really curious.

Does anyone believe pilots could/should be trained in high-G manouvers that could disable anyone who wasn't strapped into their seat. It would seem that a well executed split-S or Immelman type manouver could throw anyone who wasn't strapped in their seat to the back of the cabin where they would likely be knocked unconcious or have a few bones broken.

What are the load limits on a large airliner like a 767 or A330? Would it be possible to execute such a manouver as a last resort to disable anyone standing? I've read many reports of FA's breaking ankles in clear air turbulence that it would seem an intentional manouver to disable people would be within the limits of the A/C structure.
