That is a near-death experience, similar to those where people get
incredible adrenaline rush and do superhuman things do to the
stress/excitement/fear/explosion of the moment. It is also similar to
being in the zone when doing an intense exercise.
However, there are books about near-death experiences that you might
want to read.
I think that all of those types of moments are some kind of
enlightenment. Perhaps due to adrenalin rush, or endorphins, seratonin
in the brain, or who knows.
