This article is a prime example of the effect of flying at near top speed into wake turbulence:

A friend of mine was flying a 150 crossing behind an airliner and the resulting bump caused him to bash his head on the ceiling (despite wearing a seatbelt) nearly knocking him out and warped the wings resulting in the aircraft being declared a total loss. (Landed safely--150's are tough.) Distance to and altitude difference from the airliner unknown. If following an airliner you could be rolled but at least you could go with that and be dumped out hopefully with altitude to spare for recovery. Crossing is more dangerous in my opinion because you can hit a severe bump and break something instantly, especially if well above maneuvering speed where we normally cruise.

Didn't read the article yet but bottom line YOU CAN DIE.

Airplanes are not invincible and even jetliners have broken
apart for gust. (Japan over mount fuji.)
Fly below at or Va - maneuvering in severe turb.
Even the Boeing's I fly have turb air penetration air-speeds.

Not to mention L100-30(larger civilian version of C-130) that snapped
both wings off by not slowing for reported turbulence(circa 1975) and
got to say their last words to Anchorage Center on their way down.
