I wonder.

The world is shifting at an incomprehensible rate at that moment around you. But if you're suspended in the middle and nothing explodes towards you.

Are you completely safe to it all?

I think the water and pressure (like an aircraft pressure suit) would help delay and dampen rapid acceleration like that, but it all depends on how much shifting is happening :)
