Yeah, well, the book didn't say you need /special/ protection to go faster
than 600mph, or to faster than Mach 1. It said you needed /special/
protection to go faster than 100mph, which is what I took issue with. I
don't consider a set of goggles, wrap-around glasses, or a motorcycle helmet
and a jacket to be /special/ protection. And, really, you don't even /need/
that much protection to go 100mph, though it would make vision rolls (and
Flying rolls) more difficult since you'd have trouble seeing.
