Pilot Who Survived Space Crash Says Parachute Open...

this maybe completely bogus, be aware
Well, much over 20g is not very survivable, so I'd say you're in the ballpark at least.

I doubt he got anywhere near 15g. As the pilot had a seat strapped to him when he was ejected, adding to his mass. On top of that I assume that he had much less surface area due to sitting down, although that one is much more speculative.
