You were fine. The Playstation 1's CD drive spins at only 2x regular audio speed which is no more than 16 Hz rotational speed. It's nothing like the 48x fight

You were fine. The Playstation 1's CD drive spins at only 2x regular audio speed which is no more than 16 Hz rotational speed. It's nothing like the 48x fighter jet turbines of desktop computers. It's only 2x as much as a handheld Discman that has no safety interlocks at all.
All consoles from the PS2 onwards have an enclosed (tray or slot) drive mechanism because they do spin the disc fast enough for safety to be an issue, but the early disc media systems up to the Dreamcast didn't need to worry about it.
