Well, the constant bombardment of shells could cause the mental illness of shell shock. the symptoms being headaches, giddiness, lack of concentration and so on.... If men had shell shock they could not cope with the overwhelming pressure and so used to attempt to escape but were usually caught and were shot at dawn or tied to a post within the range of the enemy fire so they would be killed.
Not nice.
So men were lucky to survive the artillery fire - they could be killed by a direct hit or the effects of the explosion.
