Humans are wired to jump when frightened. The instant rush of adrenalin can cause a variety of reactions. Some people laugh when they experience a jump scare, while others cry. Some run away from the scary situation, while others run toward it. The response to a jump scare is known as “fight or flight.”
When we get frightened unexpectedly, our minds immediately assess the situation. Within less than one second, our brain has determined whether we stay and “fight” or run away (“flight”). When kids get jump scared, the hilarity is unending.
