U B Idiot. A drop from 3 feet up generates about 3 to 4 G's.

a drop is freefall zero gee's by definition.
it's the stop that's important.

Square wave, sudden stop. A typical Hard Drive at rest can handle
40Gs.

three feet onto a down cushion coulde be 3 to 4 gees, but is
likely more, three gees isn't enough to unplug a catsup
bottle.

three feet onto a concrete floor or an anvil will be much mo
hundereds to thousands of gees,

Just dropping it a few inches on a hard surface is
many more G's than that.

You aren't very bright at all. Here's some figures for you to
utilize.

here's something to consider

a=dv/dt

it's that simple.
