Leg Cut off But not Noticed? - 足切断気付かず2キロ走る

Some expert said that when one is hurt badly, one's brain will generate morphine type of substance. Since the man must have been concentrating on his high speed cruising, and he seldom need to use his (right, the cut one) leg for braking, the morphine type substance helped to prevent him from realizing his lost.
