There isn't really a maximum speed (except of course for the speed of light!) a human can survive. What would kill a human is the force generated by very fast acceleration (G force). I'm not sure of the maximum number of G's a human can withstand, but in a pressurized cockpit of say a fighter plane, a highly trained pilot might be able to get somewhere between 15-20 G's (15-20 times Earth's normal gravity), although once you get that high, the plane is going to have some trouble staying together as well.

The fastest speed a human can travel and survive is considered to be around Mach 3.3 (approximately 2,500 mph or 4,000 km/h). Exceeding these speeds can lead to problems such as extreme heat, structural stress, and physiological challenges that can be fatal.
