Title says it all.  Things that will need to be tested will include:

1 - What's the maximum possible speed a dwarf can go, surviving or not?
2 - What's the maximum speed a dwarf can 'survive' a skid?
3 - Can a dwarf, who's skidding, collide with other dwarves, or other animals, and thus create Dwarven Bowling?
4 - What happens if two dwarves, skidding in opposite directions, collide? (If collision is possible?)
5 - How can I get this to benefit the fortress, or at least help get Dr. Logem Legendary in all Medical Skills?
6 - Flaming, Skidding, Dwarves? /Do want
7 - Is it possible to make Kittens/Small Animals skid and have them hit Goblins? Thus weaponizing kittens/small animals?

Any other ideas?

3. Apparently
4. First thesis: The minecarts will both stop.
5. YES.
7. Dwarf and Goblin are interchangeable in context.

8. Given the likely random selection of body parts to skid on, what's the most twister-like pose the dwarf can be in?

This is an engraving of Urist McWalksontherails the dwarf. Urist is being run over by a minecart, Urist's head is stuck in his anus. The artwork relates to the "Fun experiment of fun" conducted in Trainstation in 254.

Someone get a elf, I wanna see suffering.

2) My guess would be that whether or not a skid is fatal will depend largely on the RNG's decision for which body parts the dwarf skids on. Obviously skidding on your head is going to be much more fatal then on another body part. Also my second guess based on Toady's words are that the speed at which you skid has a larger effect on the number of times you skid then on the damage done by each individual skid.
