I'm no math wiz, but lets give this a shot to put it in perspective:
100 ft/secondx60=6000 ft/minute
6000 ft/minute x 60 = 360000 ft/hour
360000 ft/hour divided by 5280 (5280 feet in a mile) = 68 miles per hour, about the speed an average 15 year old throws a baseball. I wouldn't want to get hit by a U joint cap thrown at me by a middle school kid, but it wouldn't exactly kill you either, unless it hit you in the temple or something odd like that. It may crack fiberglass, but I highly doubt it would penetrate the floor and hit you. Assuming my math is right, it's much ado about nothing. Good topic of conversation, though.
