Might be 1000G but that seems excessive
I looked it up, it's actually in excess of 1,000G(-forces), which is kinda fucking insane.
I suppose the head is probably quite light and 1000g is actually a lot. G's as a unit would be more helpful here
Well G's only make sense grams are not a unit of force
I have often seen kg-force to mean the weight component only, assuming gravity is 9.8m/s^2.
I have only ever seen mass-force being ised by americans.
I've also seen it used in usability design, where it is helpful to provide users relatable information (e.g apply equivalent force to the weight of a 1kg bag)
