Yep, I recall it in a Bond move:
Not just a flight of fancy: 'Skyhook' that rescued James Bond from the ocean at the end of Thunderball was designed to recover real-life CIA agents from behind enemy lines

Did you ever see the old films of an Air Force Colonel named John Stapp who did some of the early tests of the effects of rapid acceleration/deceleration? Basically strapped him into a glorified lawn chair on sled stuck on a rocket and shot down a rail up to over 600 mph and then stopped within about a second to generate +40G in the last test. Broke ribs, knocked fillings out, his eyes were bloodied and detached retinas. And he didn't just do it a couple of times. The guy did it over and over like 30 times! lol Did a bunch of other crazy stuff beyond that. Different breed back then...
