Lucky he only only had a broken leg and a broken foot.

Busch said it was the hardest hit he's ever taken in NASCAR competition, stating that he left the racing surface going 176 mph and then slowed to 90 mph in the grass when he impacted the inside wall at 90 G's. As soon as he made contact, he knew his right leg was broken. Busch tried to use his left foot to exit the car but ended up having to use his heel because of the pain in his foot.

Do they have an accelerometer that verifies this? Color me skeptical.

Someone needs to take a physics class because 90 Gs is laughably science fiction high.

If you use this website LINK it calculates the force at impact would have been about 21.67 tons.. Not sure how that translates to G Force though..
Eta: 90 G's is like an acceleration of nearly 2,000 mph per second.
