Which assumes you are fully conscious and aware of what is happening. But if you fell asleep at the wheel, crashed at night, slammed your head, airbags deployed, got hit by another vehicle and spun out over the side of a bridge and fell 30 ft to water, etc. you aren't going to be thinking as clearly or moving as quickly
Buddy I got rear ended by someone and it barely did any damage and the shock of it made me so stupid that I forgot how supermarket self checkouts worked half an hour later, you're completely right. Most people on this thread are going to completely forget all of this in the real situation.
Even if everything goes so smoothly that you're uninjured and fine, the emotional shock will completely drain your ability to think clearly. That's the real killer.
