I bet that was traumatic (the rupturing of the g suit as well as the
hurt little OM4).  My g suit waist band came apart once under about
7g and that felt as if my guts had spilled.

And a mildly related comment:

Mark Farmer related the story of shooting formation from the back seat of an
F-16 until his g-suit ruptured and slammed his OM-4 against the cockpit
wall, smashing it.  He completed the assignmen using a little non-Oly
digitial camera. Moral: have a backup body but I don't know where you keep
it in the back seat of a Viper.
