Reminds me of seeing Kenny Brack's (SP?) horrendous crash in IRL a few years back. He hit another driver flinging him up into the catch fence. I think he (the car) sustained 190+ G. He was in bad shape but lived to tell about it.
There was another extremely hard (non-fatal) crash in F1 back in the late 70's. Can't remember the guy's name, but his wreck "logged" 170-180 G. I think he broke almost every bone in his body and had to be resuscitated half a dozen times, but did live.
But yes, those measurements were obviously not measured on the drivers themselves.
