Theres a show called "Mythbusters" on the Discovery channel here and they did a similar experiment, except these people took a full Black and Decker drill and put it on the drive and spun it. Next to the drive, they created a rubbery dummy which resembled a human (like the toughness of the skin/muscle) and when the drive exploded, they showed the CD slicing into the dummy, It went in fairly depp, it was pretty cool

Episode 2: Cell Phone Destruction, Silicone Breasts, CD-ROM Shattering
In this episode, Jamie and Adam test several explosive theories. Can chatting on a cell phone while pumping gas cause the pump to blow up? Our mythbusters put themselves at risk so you don't have to. They also put silicone breast implants to the test at high altitude. Will they burst under pressure? Finally, we'll learn once and for all if high-speed CD-ROM players can really shatter a compact disc.
