Spot on. I totally agree.
This is why I spoke about stress inoculation last year, about exposing yourself to stress in 'safe environments as much as possible so that you can better deal with it WTSHTF. Granted it's only a weak simulation, but it's better than nothing.
Also, this is why I'm putting this scenario into play now. So that we will not DEFINITELY run around like headless chickens. I'd rather have half an idea, than no idea. After all, the forum is about discussing ideas and learning from one another.
I believe that 85% of people will run away. 10% will be in shock (think shell shock, paralysed by fear). 4% will be confused and not know what's going on, like shock, but more like confused-denial. Leaving 1% that may have already played the scenario through their heads and have part of a rational thought, instead of animal behaviour.
Having an idea of what to do, is better than just following the flock off the cliff.
