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.
