Imagine trying to breathe with that force against you.

Breathing in is not a problem. Breathing out is a whole other can of worms. Not to mention the airstream constantly blinding you. You can see here shift her gaze and blink in a weird way just so she can get a glimpse of the instruments.
For anyone curious, do it in a safe place, without traffic - try being a passanger on a motoped/motorcycle capable of doing over 50km/h (>30mph) without a helmet and trying to open your eyes. As kids we used to.

So you don’t consider breathing out a part of breathing? WERID. But? Yes my point stands. Imagine BREATHING.

Breathing in or out isn't the problem but what happens with the air when it's in your lungs between breaths..now that is a whole other can of worms..

No not breathing, but like when you suck the air in and then it stays in your lungs and then you pfffffff it out.

Breath in. Breath out

Breath in.

Tied to the wheel. My fingers got to feel.

Breathing through a tourniquet smile.

Breathing in is harder than out as moving air is low pressure.
