In Kalgoorlie the old mine shafts would wined at 1900 ft/min however I read that in South Africa 6000ft shafts wined men at 3000 ft/min and ore at 4000.
Note:- Mine shafts are limited to 6000ft because of rope weight so places like Western Deep have to 3 stage shafts, surface and two internal.
So office workers often plummet at these speeds
