If they were reading/recording at 52x CLV you may be right, the rotational speed when recording near the centre of the disk would have to be over 3 times faster than it is at present. In other words probably in excess of 10000 rpm.
I don't know whether this would cause the disks to actually 'fly apart', but I don't think I would want to risk it.
Cd read speeds have not increased much in the past few years for this very reason, vibrations and high rotational speeds mean higher error rates, making it almost impossible to get a meaningful performance gain.
And of course errors when writing would be unacceptable.
