I totally agree with the idea, however, in the interests of keeping the Moderators/Admins appeased, you may wish to add some more info. For instance: How much damage would you take? Would the type of block you hit change how much damage is done? etc.

You can, of course, explain it however you like, but here are my thoughts on it:

I was originally thinking of going with something based on fall damage, but that actually has to do with distance, not velocity, so, instead, I would say that the damage you take should be relative to your velocity, as, most times, you wouldn't be knocked back very far, but very quickly. My suggested ratio is per 3 blocks per second of speed. Wool, hay, thatch, snow, and some other blocks would reduce the damage by half.

Anyway, good idea!
