I fail to understand the exact meaning of this regulation, perhaps someone can help me out with this.

Pilot harness requirements
The ultimate load factors of CS23.561(b) must be increased by multiplying the load factors by the square of the ratio of the increased stall speed to 113 km/h (61knots). The increased ultimate load factors need not exceed the values reached at a VSOof 146 km/h (79 knots). The upward ultimate load factor for aerobatic category aeroplanes need not exceed 5·0g.

Here come the numbers:
Upward ulimate load factor for aerobatics is 4.5g
Aircraft VSO = 78kts

sqr(78/61)=1.43
4.5g * 1.43= 6.43g

Do I have to consider the 6.43g or can I put in 5g only?
Or is that VSO too high for an aerobatic category aircraft?
