You have fallen into the trap, I believe, of moving from the specifcs of this incident to an irrellevant generalization. I haven't seen foam wings collide with aircraft but I've seen them hit other vehicles and they don't seem to do noticeable damage. They're likely to scare people, though, (that's bad enough) so you keep them away traffic.
But the vehicles weren't moving at 100 mph. I have seen videos of models being crashed into various barriers as part of a test program to develop safety cages. The model may shatter but the heavy parts continue with very little loss of velocity. Want a battery pack or servo hitting a windshield or wing at 100 mph?
