10G is basically 10X the mass of the object - in your case, almost 600 lbs.

The dropped floor conversion and lift in my van have it weighing over 9000lbs, and it's a half ton, my brakes take about 2 days to stop from 70mph
The conversion had to be crash tested to be DOT approved but they didn't test stopping distance. My poor e-150 is getting beat up, what'ya do?
It doesn't seem like this will pan out, I need something mechanical as BrianG suggested
