Maintaining a level head in a frightening situation is achieved either through training for it or a traumatic childhood where you end up desensitized to it.

I don't know about this part, but yeah, it's probably a common thing to get hysterical as the person who caused the incident.

I remember I was out fishing with my gramps. Went to make a throw out of the boat, and the hook got caught in my gramps' neck. Pretty scary. He was calm though, so I was calm. But only on the outside. Inside, I was screaming and fearful.

Everything went fine at the emergency room though. I wasn't there but he came home with a bandaid, basically. 😆

RIP grampa. ❤️ Many and only good memories with you.
