Remember that this flywhell has to be strong enough to handle sufficient charge to drive this machine for a couple of hours. While in normal use that energy dissipation is controlled over time, in an accident that dissipation may occur very rapidly in a mechanical object. The fact that there are thousands or millions of little pieces of flywheel simply means that there will be that many more holes in you. Even wrapping a flywheel in some type of diamondoid casing simply means that you have a very hard and very energetic object to handle in a very short time.
