EMAS in this case

Just a question out of curiosity and none of my research has given me an answer. What would have happened to the plane/pilots in this case, if they hit an EMAS (Engineered Materials Arrestor System) at those kinds of speeds? Would the EMAS simply destroy the gear? I assume if it didn't destroy the gear, it would have absorbed enough energy that the plane would never get airborne. Any speculation?
