Not any more than it already does. We can't shoot people into space from a canon, the acceleration will kill them. Once you get past that idea, g forces aren't really the issue that needs solving. A rocket launch is about 3g's for the astronauts, something a healthy human (hence the rigorous health screenings) can withstand just fine, and that's pretty much the maximum they'll be subjected to (unless there's a crash).
