Except that this would be a sprint, not a marathon where 12mph equates to a 6.8 40 time (ver attainable). Even if you didn't achieve that speed, you would only experience the difference between your sprint and the 12mph which would be at worst similar to stepping off a moving sidewalk.
Now, if proximity is an issue (ravine is coming up quick) then maybe a sprint down the train won't work and at worst you get some rock burns and such from a dive out the side (sprinters can maintain 20mph speeds so a fall wouldn't be too severe from 12mph).

This situation needs worse consequences than 12mph to be a viable debate.
