I checked this weekend's group ride and went from 179 to 126 in 1min. I wish I believed the zero risk part. My father had a heart attack at age 54 and while I'm in better shape than he was having a family history of CVD is never good.
I looked on Pubmed for some research supporting the original quote but didn't find anything directly applicable. If anyone has a citation I'd be interested in reading it.
