Maybe he was just hammering out the defects from a crappy casting :P

What bugged me was that the G-forces would probably kill Ironman.
Hit by shell.
Hit by an airplane wing.
Blasted by a missile explosion
Others...

According to
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G_force
"Any exposure to around 100 g or more, even if momentary, is likely to
 be lethal, although the record is 179 g"
And

"
Formula One racing car driver David Purley survived an estimated 179.8
g in 1977 when he decelerated from 173 km/h (108 mph) to rest over a
distance of 66 cm (26 inches) after his throttle got stuck wide open
and he hit a wall"

Sure.. the Ironman suit can protect him on the outside but there's
nothing protecting his internal organs from all the shock on the
inside.
