I find that most of the time people who bothered by turbulence say its because they're afraid it will damage the plane and cause an accident. So I tell them that if you put enough G's on the plane to break the wings and make it fall out of the sky, those G's would have killed you before anything on the plane let loose. Funny but knowing that doesn't seem to make them feel better.
Not true. 5 Gs will fatally damage commercial passenger aircraft. 8-9 Gs will disintegrate passenger aircraft in mid flight. However humans can remain conscious for short periods in 9Gs and potentially survive up to 20 Gs.
The reality is most strapped in passengers in a commercial airliner are likely to not only survive but remain conscious through the midair disintegration of passenger aircraft.
