Depends on position, what's supporting them, and whether you want them
to do anything or just survive.  IIRC (big "if" there), you might expect
to function with ~6 gees in a sitting position, 10g lying down, and
survive but not function at quite a bit higher...at least 20, maybe
30-40?	(definitely a "don't try this at home").  It also depends on how
long the acceleration is lasting--20g for 1/100 second is harmless
compared to 5 gee all day.
