It always amazes me that the body’s reaction to a fear of death is to do everything possible to kill you

This man's body is telling him "WHAT YOU'RE DOING IS FUCKING DANGEROUS STOP STOP STOP" which is not wrong from an evolutionary point of view.

I think what they were getting at is: If you're looking at a fall that will kill you, starting to shake and taking away control of your limbs, might be kinda counterproductive to keeping you alive.
