If like this, most first time parachutist/paragliders would be dead before landing, with pee stain on their pants.

Means during extreme situation, an individual do what needs to be done and is totally focused on that (our of fear/courage/etc). Any pain inflicted upon him will not be be felt until he calmed down. for eg a soldier that charges towards the enemies and swinging his rifles/firing away . The pain from the injuries he acquired wont be felt until he finally come to a rest. And then.... *ouch* .... faints.
