at 10 km/h (3 meters/second, 4-5 times faster than the average walking speed), it's plausible that you could to fall off, hit your head on the pavement and... die, yes.
How fast do you normally walk? 3m/s divided by five is around 60cm/s or about 2 km/h, that's pretty slow. I walk at around 5 mph or 8 km/h, although that is a little faster than most. I think average walking speed is normally about 5 km/h so this is really only twice walking speed at best...
