This may be true, but death and injury during high speed impacts is usually caused by massive internal injuries due to the extremely rapid deceleration.
Even if a capsule could cushion a person to prevent external bruising or broken bones, the loose organs inside the body cavity, the brain, heart, lungs, etc., would not be so protected and would continue moving at high free-fall speeds causing instant death.
