It totally stands within reason that until it has wide spread adoption and regular people stop caring about what the exact exchange rate is that we will see large runs like that. As I stated, we have several people (myself included) invested to make money and take care of an investment, not to use a daily currency.

No. There were already massive amounts of people exiting the market in 2011 (price went down from $30 to $2 in 6 months) yet Bitcoin did not fail.
