I’ve heard similar arguments, actually. The magnetic confinement chamber is more like a choke, it narrows the beam rather than holds it captive. At 99.99% the speed of light there is really no way to prevent the resultant sub-atomic particles from flying away again at the same speed in random directions.

I have a curiosity question for ya: IF a particle were created in the collision which left through the 'cloud chamber' at greater than the speed of light, how would it be registered on the recording devices? ... I've been wanting to ask Lisa Randall that question ever since reading her book Warped Passages.
