I was on it once, but don't recall the landing pulling any heavier "g's" than what is normal at the airport. The issue was the plane could not pull up to the terminal due to wing length (this was the days when UA was in the long trailer like section that was replaced stretching out toward Hollywood Way). We parked on a ramp just northwest of where the runways cross, and were bussed about 400 hundred yards to the terminal door.
My recollection was there may have been all of 40 people on the plane.
As to 757's, over the years probably landed there a couple of dozen times. Again, no landing ever struck me with panicky braking.
