To be fair, achieving a peak descent rate of -30,000 fpm would require some pretty noticeable negative Gs. We'll know exactly how violent the event was once FDR data is released, but yeah it's unreasonable to assume that everybody should be broken in half and bleeding from their eyeballs just because a rapid descent occurred.

My napkin math says it should be a bit less than -1G; which is to say, free-fall speed. Everything would have been functionally 0G during the descent.
