Those videos depict exactly what I would expect. It looks
a much smaller piece of wood and it travelled just a few
feet.

The OP's scenario involved what I think was a much larger
piece of wood. And the distance involved was hugely greater.

Yes, it was larger in length, but narrow, like a spear. I could not find
the photo, but I've seen pieces even thicker through garage doors. 108 mph
is pretty fast for a spear.
