must be scary as hell to ride in one of those

It isn't scary, you hardly realize that you are moving. The train is quiet with a slight hummmm. Kinda like an old Cadillac

sick

To the feel the rush or concusion of these was awesome. They are really only going half speed because of the platform, but they haul ass when they get away from town.

not at all it's like a TGV: smooth, fast, quiet and of course : fast !

We can't feel speed, only acceleration.....not to brag but I am taking a cool science class this semester

Japan Shinkansen second accident and operates in 46 years. Even China is imitating the shape of the bullet train, no-nonsense safety and technology.

That E1 was doing somewhere between 200km/h and 240km/h. You can work it out, train length is 302 metres and the rest is simple arithmetic. They are permitted 240km/h. The E4 is also restricted to 240km/h. They do not slow down for stations. The E4 is a tad over 200 metres long.
