instincts are a weird thing - I saw maybe 3 people do something that always irks me in movies - in movies when someone is running away from a car they run 'away' in the same direction the car is heading. which seems the worst of 3 options, but instinctively (if the wiring is fleeing other animals attacking)
but I'm not going to fault people for not knowing what to do in a situation they have never encountered or even thought that much about probably
