Then again, it's possible to have some very fast reflexes in the act of self-preservation.
When I was eleven on a family road trip, my dad followed a motorcyclist on a two lane highway for many miles. My mom, brother, and I were all admiring him and discussing his bike when a woman pulled out from behind a semi to pass. When she realized her mistake, instead of slowing and pulling back in, she stupidly decided to go for the shoulder on our side. The motorcyclist rightfully went for the same place and they met head on. He vaulted off of her windshield and somersaulted like a rag doll a good 15 feet high.

Poor guy didn't have a chance. I just stood over this broken body and helplessly watched him take his last breath. Changed me forever.

Always look for the out or try to make one for yourself. Even then, sometimes it just ain't there.
