I recently read an excellent book titled The Unthinkable and it was all about which sorts of people tend to survive disasters and why. One of the strongest messages I took away from reading the book was that training really works - many if not most people suffer various psychological, physical and psychogenic effects when faced with extreme danger and stress and if you have trained for a contingency that allows you to act instead of just standing there or doing something stupid.
