Speaking second hand here. According to my cousin who nearly died due to a roadside bomb in afghanistan; she didn't really fully grasp the danger she was in and how likely it was that she could die at any time until she watched her best friend die in her arms from that blast.

Just knowing you could face death is not enough to truly understand what that means, you have to stand face to face with the decrepit bastard,
