Given a choice between exceeding Vne or the placard 'g' loading, I would go for
pulling hard every time.


As Eric has indicated, it is a given that once you exceed Va by a
significant margin, whether or not you exceed Vne, you can pull hard
enough to cause a structural failure.

I think there is a point here that some are missing, and I'd like to
hear some discussion around this. With long wing gliders, it is easier
to unstall the wing, than it is to stop the rotation. If you are
unstalled and rotating, you are in a spiral. If you pull in a spiral,
your speed will increase, not decrease. The most important thing to
remember, as far as I'm concerned, is never pull before the rotation has
stopped...
