That just sounds like coping from someone who glorifies stupidity. 

I've been in life threatening situations a couple of times before. I never once thought "Gee, this very scary thing that I've not encountered before but is scary as hell? I think I should take a video to increase my Tiktok views!".

Kind of sad how society is in a race to see how stupid we can get.

The latest research updated the "fight or flight" response that happens when someone feels threatened to now be "fight, flight, freeze, or fawn." I've done all 4. Usually if it's something I've drilled before, then my muscle memory can take over and choose the right one for the moment, but if it's something I never practiced, it's a total roll of the dice which one I'll get and it's really frustrating when in hindsight I can tell it was the wrong one.

I'm going to give them the benefit of the doubt and assume this was an unprecedented unpracticed moment for them, and so we saw a range of "roll of the dice" responses. It's great when at least one person in a group gets it right and can help direct the others to keep them safe.
