Arrows arrive more slowly than a cricket ball from Brett Lee, with a whole lot less weight.

But not everyone on the battlefield is wearing plate - I'd hazard a guess that very very few people on the battlefield were wearing full plate. It's not exactly a cheap item available to the common soldier... Your warhorse is certainly not fully covered either, and if you're wearing full plate, you're not walking more than a short distance before you fall down and are unable to move, so if your horse is down, so are you.
And a freak arrow through the eyehole will still kill you, or an interesting hit on a weak joint can penetrate and injure... and when you're hit with a couple of hundred arrows, odds are good that something bad is going to happen.
