In a state of emergency, your body automatically releases adrenalin from your adrenal glands, which act like a "fight or flight" reaction giving you a quick boost in energy and movement. Like in an earthquake, you are usually startled and move because natural instincts tell you to move or run. Adrenaline is a rush, without the rush, you probably would just stand there, and take longer to think. This way with a release of adrenaline, your body doesn't need time to think, it just does.
