The brain usually limits the amount of strength we use in our muscles for our own safety.

In a moment of great hysteria the brain momentarily switches of said limit to either ensure survival or ensure the survival of someone you care for.

So a human being is very much capable of lifting a car or ripping open a jammed car door. However you would not walk away unscathed.

The brain limits your strength be cause if you used all the strength you had all at once you could very well destroy your muscles, bones and joints. That limit is there for a reason.

Sorry if I sounded rude in anyway. I just wanted to explain it.

U can call it muscle control. Activating all our muscle fibres at once mean we can bend steel bars any time, any place. The same with misfiling our memory. To activate all our information we gathered from a young age and never forget anything, such as reading sumthing 30 years ago and still remember and understand it.

We slid out of control, started spinning at 70mph. The car slammed sideways in to a concrete covert over a ditch. It sent us barrel rolling through the air, we rolled over a street in the air with out touch down. Hit a stop sign, then stuck a utility pool about 15ft up head on. I was ejected from the front seat with my seat out of the back window. About an hour later I woke up and seen two men and a male officer trying to pry the door open to where my friend was she was knocked out in the driver seat, I ran over there pushed the three men out of the way and with one heavy tug I ripped the door almost completely off the car snapping one of it’s metal hinges. I’m 5’6 feet tall and 130lb’s. No way could I ever phantom the idea off pulling off such a feet. On top of that I felt 110% like nothing was wrong or nothing had happened only to slip into acoma not 20 minutes after doing this, I was life flighted and in acoma for 4 day’s and somehow lived
