What is wrong with this equation?

Clear[sol]
f[x_?NumericQ] = 1 - 1111*x'^2;
sol = NDSolve[{x''[t] + (16/10^4)x'[t]^2*Sqr[
f[x[t]]]/x[
    t]^2 - (1458/10^9)*f[x[t]]/x[t]^2 == 
            0, x[0] == 1, x'[0] == 0}, x[t], {
              t, 0, 100}, AccuracyGoal -> 8,
                     PrecisionGoal -> 8, WorkingPrecision -> 
                  30, MaxSteps -> Infinity];
Plot[Evaluate[x'[t] /. sol], {t, 0, 100}]
