If a person is strapped in correctly, the deceleration (G-force) that
can be tolerated is amazing. See: http://www.ejectionsite.com/stapp.htm

Some people certainly can, as some have survived remarkable falls. Auto
safety has to be designed for the worst mainstream case, rather than the
best. Captain Stapp's recklessness aside, there are good reasons for the 18
G limit.
