Have you had to decide between ditching and slamming into a wall?

The souls who jumped from the World Trade Centers never before felt the inclination to leap from a building. Ever.

On a bike headed for a wall or in a skyscraper being chased by flames your autonomic nervous system takes control.

your autonomic nervous system takes control.

I have been in a couple of ‘hot spots’, have the scars, gongs and even a set of nice license complements of the state (free).
Also, two alive days to celebrate.

My autonomic nervous system certainly pumped up my heart rate and some other internal stuff...

What I did or attempted to do was a result of conscious thought, until the lights went out.
Then the ANS takes over.
