However, alternative methods (in particular, shorting out someone’s nervous system with a direct electrical charge, or simply interfering with the mechanical structure of their joints, can be just as effective at stopping them with far less dire consequences. ![]() In the case of restraints and submission holds, there is a danger of the individual injuring themselves, while they try to work their way out of the hold, but that risk is still vastly preferable to killing them on the spot.Īdrenaline is a very potent survival tool, in your physiology, and if you try to simply overpower that tool through direct force, it will lead to catastrophic consequences. Similarly, restraints, and other submission techniques can be used to hold them down. Less than lethal devices, such as tasers or chemical sprays, can absolutely incapacitate someone under an adrenaline rush, without severely harming them. That said, killing them is absolutely not your only option. The short answer to your question, “how much severely do you need to injure someone through an adrenaline rush?” You need to kill them. Also, for the record, I did not feel the gash that I was bleeding from, and angrily rubbed it a few times before realizing I’d been injured.) It might sound hilarious to be pissed off at your own blood leaking down the side of your face, but that was my experience. (To be clear, that’s not just a glib dismissal, being aware of bleed was actually annoying. Catastrophic blood loss during an adrenaline rush is not something I have personal experience with, and my experiences with bleeding while dealing with an adrenaline rush is more just that bleeding is an extremely annoying inconvenience, when you don’t need to consider what’s happening. I’m not completely sure what the subjective experience is there. Not that it matters, but as a minor up-side, adrenaline is delivered via the circulatory system, meaning if you start seriously bleeding, that’s your adrenaline rush going with it, so the rush is likely to drop off prematurely in the event of fatal blood loss. You just need to make sure that they’re actually incapacitated. So, if someone has been shot multiple times and is bleeding out, they’ll still lose consciousness. The “good” news is that an adrenaline rush will not prevent you from bleeding to death. Meaning, if you feel threatened, even if the actual danger has passed, the rush could continue (though it will usually drop off after, roughly, an hour.) ![]() In most cases, the adrenaline rush will drop off within a few minutes of the threat passing, though the state of threat is assessed by your brain, so your psychological state heavily affects that. It’s a little worse than I’m making it sound, too, because you can suffer non-fatal injuries during an adrenaline rush, and then aggravate the wound to the point that it becomes life threatening (or life-altering.) An adrenaline rush can, potentially, persist for over an hour. Destruction of the skeletal structure, (which is to say, destroying joints), might not completely stop them, but it’s an injury they won’t be able to power through (even if they aren’t immediately aware of it.) (And, yes, that can absolutely happen.)Īs a general rule, anything that will immediately kill someone, such as decapitation or catastrophic head trauma, will stop someone through an adrenaline rush. If they had an adrenaline rush, they might not be able to tell that they’ve been hit, and will need to physically examine themselves to ensure they’re not bleeding to death without realizing it. While it may seem slightly comical, the image of someone literally checking themselves for holes after being shot at is a real practice with genuine purpose. If you don’t finish someone off, they are still a potential threat until they are clinically dead. If you’ve ever seen the, “humans are space orcs,” meme, adrenaline is a big part of that. The scary thing about adrenaline is that you can suffer a mortal wound and not realize it until you drop dead. ![]()
