Yes. However, judging g-loads with the seating position in modern gliders is
difficult - especially if you run on 100% adrenaline.

But pulling the airbrakes would be fairly suicidal.

I suppose you meant "pulling the airbrakes while pulling too hard" ???

As Eric noticed it, the allowed G-loading at VNE in ASH26 (for example)
is 4 G without airbrakes, and a very close 3.5 G with airbrakes.

Thus in most cases it will be *safer* to pull airbrakes (including close
to the ground, if the dive angle is high).
