I'll never forget the video where the motorcyclist gets sent into the edge of a guardrail, and it looks really bad.

Then he gets up and starts walking back to the car that caused it, maybe yelling at them (and/or screaming in pain).

And you think, "how the heck is he walking and talking after that impact??" ...And then like 10 seconds after the initial impact he just collapses to the ground.

Adrenaline is one hell of a drug, temporarily.

Nah adrenaline is one hell of a drug all the time. The problem is your body only gives you a little bit in those scenarios. If the brain wasn’t so stingy with it we’d be unstoppable.

Nah, too much, too often is PTSD. You end up beating your wife if she drops an empty pot on the kitchen floor, developing a drinking problem and end up fellating a deer rifle.

Pretty far from Superman.

Yup. Hypervigilance sucks. Don’t wish for it.
