It's not a problem. Rapid flight provides a handy escape from danger if needed. Chickens could learn something from me.
Yes, that is what a number of cartoon characters keep on saying. I'm sure you know which ones.

It never works out. That's why only Acme sells jetpacks and portable jet engines without a robust braking mechanism -- which FTR factors in the need to bleed off your speed across sufficient time and distance to avoid crumpling you like a tin can in a car compactor.
