What Your Body Experiences in a Car Accident

Published on Aug 9, 2018 at 6:23 pm in Car Accidents.

While you may sustain a variety of bodily injuries after a car accident, we don’t often consider what our body goes through during the collision. Our bodies are equipped with processes to handle what we’re experiencing, both mentally and physically.

While the collision itself may only take seconds, our brain slows the event down. This is called slow motion perception. When your brain realizes something traumatic is happening quickly, it will increase its memory packing abilities. This improves your ability to recall the sights, sounds, smells, and touches of the accident. Because you’re experiencing a burst of senses in a short period of time, the span of events significantly slows down.

As slow motion perception fades, adrenaline kicks in. Adrenaline is a hormone the body secretes under intense conditions of stress – a survival hormone. Blood circulation, breathing, and metabolism rates increase. You’re likely to feel a rapid heart rate, sweating, and shaking. You may become pale and experience blurred or tunneled vision.
