That is not correct. Please present some facts to back it up.
It might work for your car but not airplanes. As the RAF tells its pilots, the margin in aviation are very small and the limits represent the point you are risking damage. The limits are just that, limits.
They are not bound by feeling, opinion, or heroic fantasy, only physics.

Lot of idiots in the world, of course. In aviation you will find people who think they know better and the rules do not apply to them.
You can break man's laws and get away with it but not the laws of physics.
Notice the RAF does not say the wing
will not break even at the upper limit of 4G. Why? Because it can break even at the approved limit because that limit assumes a perfect airframe. The Operating Notes define the limits the aircraft is airworthy.
[QUOTEwing which is
intended to withstand 4g
should not break until 8g is imposed, but there is increasing risk of strain and failure as g rises above 4. ][/QUOTE]
