35 mph, can be somewhat dangerous, especially to small boats. Such winds are referred to as gale fore. On land they can occasionally bring down trees and tree limbs but rarely cause other notable damage. Significant danger occurs when winds reach 58 mph, which is considered storm force, and is approximately the wind speed where most man-made structures start to take damage.

It depends. On some construction sites, certain work can only be done when the wind is almost still. Only a mild breeze make parachuting dangerous for beginners. A 200 MPH wind is fine if you are hiding underground.

Yes. Wind that is strong enough can bring down trees and damage structures, potentially killing and injuring people. The powerful winds of hurricanes and tornadoes can turn objects into high-speed projectiles. Power lines brought down by strong wind creates a risk of electrocution and can start fires.

Not normally. Wind is usually harmless. During strong storms, though, the wind can become dangerous as it can bring down trees and damage structures.

If it's a very strong wind it can blow over even big stuff.
