Those are kind of safe numbers but we don;t really know how many Gs he pulled, do we?

Most of the Unlimiteds have pretty sophisticated telemetry on-board to monitor performance.  They have recovered the telemetry data, and it did indicate a +11G pullup once the trim tab departed the aircraft.

Steve Hinton Jr. won the unlimited Gold at the age of 22...  I believe his old man won a couple of his when he was in his twenties as well.  But, by and large, most of the pilots are in their 40s-60s...
