How is it that Rarity hitting the ground a terminal velocity would have killed her, but getting jerked at a 90 degree angle and the speed of sound was perfectly safe?
The same way light cycles from Tron do it

That is actually a very large arc, but the perspective makes it look much smaller.
The angle of the shot makes it look sharper than it is, also it's a cartoon

Do you even pastel pony magic, Anon ?
Pegasi flight is magic, so things like inertia negation are possible.
Google it.

Oh damn I forgot how sparkly and glowy Dash's rainbow used to be back in season 1.
Nowadays she doesn't even have her signature rainbow trail.

Unicorns are more delicate than pegasi

Cartoon logic.
Like, lava doesn't burn you as long as you don't touch it.

The same way Flutterbutter falls from a gigantic distance into fucking butterflies and doesn't kill them all while still dying herself.
In practice, people still die when they fall at very high speed, even if "rescued". The only way to save them is literally how the show handles it, if Dash goes as fast as they do. And even then, the sudden stop would destroy their internal organs. You would have to be super precise and keep velocity for a while until it was safe to reduce it and then drop them on the floor.
Dash did it because she is ficitional, nobody real can do such a feat.

It's confirmed that pegasus flight involves magic, and therefore some defiance of the laws of physics.

Explained here by some autismo, just read all the complications in a "real" scenario.
