rapid deceleration syndrome 

(abbreviated to RDS)

Term for the effects of travelling at great speed and then hitting an immovable object... such as cuts, bruises, broken limbs, paralysis or death.

Cyclists: The effects of misjudging a corner and hitting a wall straight on.

Severe Rapid Deceleration Syndrome or SRDS usually refers to death.
