I know it's pretty much thin skinned aluminium and low density honeycomb material, but if it has a low ballistic coefficient and the aircraft has a high TAS
Agree ... but only small re-ingested pieces attack it ballistically and are easily stopped by the multiple layers of skin.

The major blade piece is mostly sliding into the inlet cowl and is being attenuated by sliding friction and slicing over the circumferential feet of travel.
