Was it like a car going 150 mph then suddenly drops to 0 then instantly kicks up to 250 mph? Could the same force be replicated on a human body but at much slower speeds? Wouldn't hitting that barrier jar the body a lot??

You should watch the video. He talks about what it was like.

The "sound barrier" is not a physical barrier.

It would be like if a car was going 40mph and accelerated until it "hit" 60mph. Or, if they keep going and they "break the speed limit" nothing actually gets broken. It's just a phrase that we use to mean "the speed exceeds this amount"
