Default RE: Estimating speed??

PT, I heard of a Pylon course official who was killed many years ago [by a F-1] even though he was inside a chain link cage. I can't see how a 5 pound plane going 200 mph could penetrate through even 3/4" plywood and have enough force left over to kill anybody, but I can't say I've ever tested out this theory.
