that depends on what you mean by ability to survive...
if you mean ability to not get screwed over in an extremely dangerous situation with limited time to make decisions, then yea...
My mind doesn't always work like that. My reflexes feel the urge to grab anything I drop. Even if that is a very sharp knife.

Ouch! been there. Caught a hunting knife mid air by the blade once. Was gushing blood all over the place.

A colleague saw it happening. She said "that was quite impressive, but I suppose you want me to cut you a plaster now" :jig:

a gorilla can generate enough force with its arm/fist/swing/punch to crush a human skull :D

well then you shouldn't be playing "an eye for an eye" and in the process hurting other people's eyes too

translation- lighten up!

(this is a TRUE STORY. he had a friend with him and i think a camera or video camera or some device with such abilities. though i'm not certain of this.
I am sure if such a video exists you would be able to find it.

Did he have a cam in the rock?

I understand that in emergencies people can gain "super-human" strength but if weight-lifting is all about using your brain rather than actual muscle size then why are other animals such as gorillas a lot stronger than us despite having inferior brain power?

Because the gorillas secretly are 500 times smarter than us. They're just playing us for fools.

biology+physics, mince pies.

unfortunately, the truth is physical performance is directly and exclusively tied to the actual biology (the person u are born as. every spec of u. from outside to internal to cellular to genetic) and the physics/"aerodynamics" of your size, shape, etc..

if it wasn't, every one could be a professional athlete. every one could be a world class soccer/futbol, baseball, american football, tennis, golf, basketball player, boxer, wrestler, olympic sprinter, olympic swimmer, etc...

each person can be improved slightly with training, but you're born the fastest sprinter or fastest swimmer in the world. no amount of training can make some one who isn't to be a top athlete. of course u can have a top athlete waste their natural ability by not training and perfecting their natural ability. but the fact is, it is determined by birth, by your genes and body.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
so in your question to why animals are so amazing normally and humans aren't:

it has to do with their very bodies compared to ours. i'm not well knowledgable on exactly why. maybe an animal has more bone mass or muscle mass. many animals DO have much much more weight-mass and that huge weight-mass is muscle too. in humanity there are a few humans who have reached ~600 lbs. but that 600 lbs is fat. now let's take a gorilla. ~800 lbs of mostly muscle. that's a big difference. how a tiger can be 400 lbs i have no idea. it's body isn't "that" much bigger than a person. this question is more for a zoologist and biologist and human biologist and genetist. i know some about all this but not enough for the specific reasons why animals and humans are so different in terms of physical ability/performance.

Re: one of many "super human" abilities of a human in emergencies

you, sir, base too much off of genes!

my semi-scientific take: we develop as we progress through life

while a lot of our basic structure will be determined by genes, this is just the basic structure of us which enable us to BECOME something with the potential to become even more,...

there's a proverb: "you are what you eat". take it and apply to every other physical influence on your body in life and you've got yourself the 90% that makes a person... the genes are just the 10% basic stuff that need to be built on to make us who we are
