Huge difference between believing your life to be in danger, and sustaining life threatening injuries. As I have said multiple times already, in that moment your biochemical and physiological defence mechanisms kick in, as per evolution, and it's fight or flight. In a nanosecond. It's why you jump like fuck if a 3 year old kid says BOO!! and you genuinely aren't expecting it - your body and brain reacts instantly, until such time as your senses adjust and your brain is told: no threat.

How are people not getting this? Both men were at that specific crucial time in what their body and brain believed to be a life-threatening situation.
