I came across the blurb below today while booting up my computer. While I cannot verify the scientific validity of 1200 g’s it is interesting the think about…

A woodpecker can peck with a force as high as 1,200 g’s with each impact – equivalent to a human striking head against a wall at a speed of 25km (16 miles) an hour each time.
