If I feel that my life is jeopardized my full focus will be on avoiding or neutralizing the threat - e.g. running away if possible or permanently stopping the threat so as to save my life.
I see it as similar to flying (I was a pilot in a younger life)... you are taught to aviate, navigate and lastly, communicate when you are in trouble. Flying is similar to most of life - thousands of hours of boredom with just a few seconds of adrenaline pumping fright. Gain control of the plane, figure out where you are and what have to do next and then talk to a control tower to explain you emergency if need be.
In a life threatening situation my communicating will be with the 911 operator not the threat.
