Cold slows the rate of metabolic reactions in the body (e.g. pulse, digestion, etc.). When jumping into cold water, the heart rate can slow to a dangerous level while having to pump harder to keep the body warm. The body knows what is dangerous and sends signals to the brain when something could jeopardize safety.
Jumping into cold water would cause the same amount of fear as boiling water.
