Abstract
In the previous chapter a model was established to enable discussion of human behaviour during a life-threatening event. The elements of this framework comprise the period of pre-impact (including threat and warning phases), the period of impact, the period of recoil and the period of post-trauma. It is now possible to map onto this model human responses in extreme situations.
