Railguns as a means of propelling people onto a battlefield (or to another ship)

Would it be a good idea to use a railgun to propel a person into combat in a low/zero grav environment, Ã la human cannonballs in a circus? If a person was strapped into some sort of temporary frame, and launched out of a sizable railgun, would they survive the G-force shock unscathed? Could it be used to launch soldiers with jetpacks or other forms of Futurey stuff safely (relatively) into battle?
