    ‘speed of sound’ is clearly an exaggeration…

    MRI machines have some pretty powerful magnets, but they still won’t accelerate anything to the speed of sound, let alone an object held reasonably securely and only within the space of ~12 inches.

    It’s not a particularly large or sharp object; I could see it being pulled through the inside of a chest cavity mostly pushing stuff out of the way. Definitely ‘major injuries’ though.
