That's a good survival instinct. They've done studies revealing that people who are totally relaxed during car crashes (e.g., very drunk people) usually walk away with far less substantial injuries than people who are tense and scared shitless. If your muscles are tight, the force will tear them. Relaxed, and you'll just flop around until you stop.
