Yeah this link says most people can only take 4 to 6 g, but fighter pilots can take up to 9.

    As other commenter pointer out direction of force is important. Horizontal force is much less dangerous as it doesn't drain your brain of blood as much as a vertical one. If I recall correctly humans can survive 20-40 Gs of horizontal force compared to just 5-9 of vertical.
