Fly pulls 3g!

Dive bombing killer flies are so fast they lose steering control

Killer flies can reach accelerations of over 3g when aerial diving to catch their prey—but at such high speeds they often miss because they can't correct their course.

Seems like their wings would be ripped off at that speed.

If they get to 5G, they run the risk of being exposed to radiation!

OK Very interesting. But who wakes up and goes "You know, I think I will look at the flight stability of the Killer Fly."
And somebody else had to agree to pay for it.

Getting on for 100 years ago, some guy wondered what would happen if he was in a falling Lift? By your reasoning, a completely illogical and irrelevant train of thought!
