Peak is not enough - you need to know time impulse. A 10G accel over 1 sec has much different effect than a 10G over a nanosecond.

And the measuring devices must also handle this nuance. A liquid has inertia, so won't register quick impulses, and the things it measures might not be relevant to what bio systems are interested in.
