Right here theres no speed momentum at play, hes clearly standing still lifting a limp Barry with one arm. Theres gotta be something else to him. Earlier in the vid Caitlyn says "He cannot be human" and Wells quickly says "He is or... was." Required Secondary Power.

It's been often pointed out in the comics that superpowered beings need additional secondary powers in order to make their primary power(s) function the way it does.

Speedsters, for example, have to possess a degree of superstrength and invulnerability in order to run so fast and not get hurt. It's also been stated that they possess a "friction aura", which protects both them and whatever/whoever they are carrying from burning up due to friction.
