What happens if a speed skier tumbles?

Pretty much what you'd expect - massive injuries, sometimes death. Search Youtube for "speed skiing crash" for examples. Sometimes people get lucky and just slide to a stop, depends on how they fall.

Sliding can lead to burns.

No idea, but remember that their speed is parallel to the surface, not perpendicular.
