The first is does speed kill? This question in its most basic interpretation must be a yes. If you were to constantly accelerate a human without protection of any sort, it will eventually get to a speed that the forces involved are beyond what it can cope with. Add protection and the limit then becomes the limit of the protection but eventually the forces overcome that. Look at it this way, even in a rocket there is a speed at which point the occupants would die.

As for the second question of does speeding kill? Here we go again, I will keep out of that one. I will only ask one question, do we really have to go through this again?
