The rings are comfortably larger than Earth: http://www.arcadiastreet.com/cgvistas/images/saturn_&_earth_...

To do any damage at any speed you'd notice would be a self-correcting problem as whoever tried it would be destroyed. It's definitely not a problem you're going to see within your lifetime.
