Wtf!!
The article is a little unclear whether 1.4×10^17g is the cutoff mass for the definition of a PBH, or the mass above which they calculate a PBH would cause fatal damage.
If it's the latter, that is many orders of magnitude larger than i would have expected!
Yeah, black holes are apparently weak AF. One 9mm round weighs 7*10^1 grams and can ruin my afternoon.
The paper itself has more info. Though I'd be lying if I understood it.

EDIT: Removed the quote since it wasn't directly relevant. Section II in the paper is probably what you want.
