Your body can and will try to take over when life is on the line

Oh yeah, lungs were giving it their all to clear and they didn't care if they did a little damage to succeed. Losing some control over your body is a weird sensation. It's like someone snatching your game controller away, beating a boss, and then tossing it back into your hands.
