F1 driver Purley once survived nearly twice the g-force of a US missile while racing

An average F1 driver is subjected to g-forces in excess of 5g while racing, meaning the body experiences nearly five times its weight through high-speed corners. Former British driver David Purley survived after experiencing a g-force of 179.8g during his British Grand Prix 1977 crash, according to Sportskeeda. Notably, the US Army's high-tech Sprint missile involved a g-force of 100g.
