Default Whats the g force on this?

So i took my dad out for father's day this evening. On the walk back to the car he unexpectedly grabs me and pulls me in in a quick and short motion. My head and body moves extremely quickly about 1 foot to the side. My dad is a huge muscular guy and im a very skinny weak guy.

It was basically like an insanely quick hard jolt to the side. My head didnt whip and i didnt hit my head on anything but the movement of my body was the fastest I've maybe ever experienced and the acceleration felt was like a formula 1 car or something.

Im trying not to post things like these but my anxiety was really high today so does anyone know how to calculate g forces and could tell me the g force of this incident? I litteraly felt a huge panic surge the second it happened and i felt slightly dizzy and nauseous and maybe a little cluster headed but that could have been due to anxiety.

You may have experienced 1/2 G of side force. You experience more plopping down in a chair. The most aggressive braking action in a car can achieve 1.6 or 1.7 Gs if the road surface and tires and brakes are functioning at optimal levels.

You did not get jerked like a panic stop in a car.

Alright thanks, it felt really fast like one of the fastest movements I've experienced in my life but i asked my dad after and he told me it couldnt have been that hard since he on purpose tried to be fairly gentle(hes still a huge strong guy though).

How many gs can someone's neck and head generate on its own? Last night i had some kind of tic or spasm and inadvertently jarred my head hard up and to the side, so fast that i felt the bones in my jaw and neck scraping together and then locking bringing my head to an immediate halt.

I had no immediate sensation or symptoms so i thought nothing of it and just went to bed but this morning the side of my jaw that scrapped and locked is sore and the pain is radiating to my forehead, my neck also feels a litlle tighter then usual. How many gs was this incident? What about like a sneeze or something?
