I wonder how the ground speed is determined. If it is from the tires then as the slide begins the ground speed will only be in alignment with the fuselage and not represent the true velocity of the aircraft. By way of example - if the plane is sliding directly sideways the tires will not rotate regardless of the slide speed.
