I did a 100ft free fall into a net once. When the adrenaline is going, you have plenty of time to think about it. Mathematically, I know the drop took about 2.5 seconds, but it felt like a full two minutes. My perception of it was 30 seconds of “Wow, this view is really nice” and 90 seconds of “What the fuck? Where’s the net? Why am I still falling? What the fuck?!”
So, yeah, she probably had plenty of time to panic.
