It also depends on the species of centipede. In Hawaii they get big (6-14 inches) and can absolutely pierce your skin, and they are FAST. Like, when you try to stomp them they scurry out of the way and attack your foot sort of fast.

I have never found any centipede in any house looking like that. Centipedes here are an inch long and scurry away when you turn on the light.
