Moment of Inertia
Let me see if I can't find a better example, but:
http://www.howstuffworks.com/roller-coaster5.htm
has some stuff on it.
But one reason why cars can turn or acellerate harder then 1.0 G despite what simple physics says is that tires, 1. deform, and 2. adhere to the road surface, which the basic "law" of friction doesn't take into account.
Its not a simple
nothing can have a coefficent of friction greater then 1.0 situation.
