I would figure their would be a speed limit as not to over revolute the hammer to unbalance it, is that what could happen, too much speed would unbalance and the hammer would start to walk around and topple over.

usually bigger hammers have a concrete foundation.  I think it would dismantle itself.  This one has a 500# ram weight...pretty serious hammer. My airhammer had a150# ram and would do 4 beats per sec running flat out. This one maybe 2 tops :dunno:
