We derive a criterion which the velocity of a vortex line must satisfy in order that the fermion bound states follow the core adiabatically. The criterion appears strongly violated in vortex tunneling in high-Tc superconductors, which raises issues regarding vortex mass and viscosity in the theory of quantum creep.
