It isn't the same with everybody and with all accidents, but it can be a real rush. One of the first things they teach EMTs is that what the patient feels is not a reliable indicator of the severity of an injury; a seriously hurt person can be walking around engaging in normal conversation, a much less gravely injured one may be in serious pain. I was once bounced out of a vehicle moving at considerable speed (on a movie set); rolled down the pavement, ended up bruised from head to toe on one side and well scraped. I laughed and told jokes, mostly at my own expense, all the way to the hospital; I was well and truly stoned. The people who commented later on my "bravery" should have seen me a few hours later, when the rush wore off. Ouch.
