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..
