There is a real life example, unfortunately. In 1978 Soviet scientist Anatoli Bugorski was hit by a 76 GeV particle. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anatoli_Bugorski

Looks like he survived the incident and even completed his PhD in following years. He did lose hearing on one ear and was partially paralyzed though.

Now the particle mentioned in the article was million time more energetic so...

He was hit by a 76 GeV beam. Very important distinction.

That was a proton beam - lots of high energy particles.
