The lack of information when you do a Google search leads me to believe there has not been a lot of research (at least not formal documented research, not to be confused with over a cool adult beverage on the lawn research) done. One of the facts I remember from physic is 88 ft./seconds equals 60 miles per hour. You can use that for a basics for doing some basic research.

Obviously, the speed is adequate to bury a sharp hook in human flesh and justify the purchase of impact resistant glasses for fishing. I have a friends who both he and his wife have had to have hooks removed from their lips and nose.
