What happens if you hit a speedbump too fast?
When you travel too fast over a speed bump, your shocks are unable to absorb the energy that rapidly, which can cause damage like bending out of shape or leaking hydraulic fluid. If this happens often enough, the shocks can begin to break down and will be unable to protect your car.
Is there a maximum height for speed bumps?

How do I get a low car over a speed bump?
Braking lowers the front of the car while accelerating raises it.

The straighter you are driving over the bump the better, ie perpindicular to the bump.
