One may say so... definitely. The interesting thing is, however, how much time you (your brain) has to think out the best solution, the best to do in the fraction of last seconds up to the incident. The brain really works at highest possible clock rate right then and unless you panic, so much time to find the best way out - assuming there is one - in that moment. Made the same experience, when aro 10 years ago and standing up at around 8-9 feet on a ladder not tilted enough against the wall- and that ladder slowly starts tipping over backwards... I stepped off in time and came down on my feet. No more than a compression fracture to my left ankle... People are killed that way daily! Since then I don't even step up on a newspaper! /Taro
