In this current situation, person had to overcome a roller accident, Adrellion kicks in and a person can pursue thru the pain. Now, they are faced with a situation, in which life is threatened, they have the energy needed to react to any challenge. In response to stress, certain chemicals, like adrenaline, and increased blood pressure, heart rate, oxygen intake and blood circulation in the muscles, combined and gives us the energy, strength and mental alertness necessary to react the best way possible (Seligman 2000).
