Adrenalin is released usually in one of two situations. Either you are caught doing something or suprised, or you are in a stressfull environment for a long period of time.

For example, the first one. Think about a vandal destroying something at say his local park, when suddenly he looks up and sees the lights on a police squad car come on. Then he gets the classic rush of adrenalin, and goes through the "fight or flight" decision.

Secondly, think of a soldier on the front line. All of the stress they go through and fast paced fighting means that adrenalin is released in more of a slow trickle to keep them going, rather than a large dose that the scared person feels. Oh and also, many wounds will release adrenalin, especially if you look at it. ("It didn't hurt until I looked")

Hope this helps.
