[QUOTE]Originally posted by Timo: [QB] Seatbelts are good up to 50 gee or so. Heck, *seats* are good up to 50 gee. In terms of keeping the acceleration-killed lifeless carcass from flapping around too much, usually. But a Galaxy is supposed to accelerate at a thousand gee when ordered to "full impulse", according to TNG TM anyway. The last thing going through the mind of the Ensign who presses "IDF Off" while at impulse deceleration will be the warp core. Dunno. All those ah so fatal "coolant leaks" and "hull breaches" sound like minor problems in comparison with the things that can happen to a starship in a fraction of a second when a key system hiccups. But it is only natural that we don't hear of those hiccups over the PA system. Instead, we hear the big "boom" sound that shouldn't be there in the vacuum of space. Timo Saloniemi [/QB][/QUOTE]
