There are approximately 15 percent of the population that, no matter how well prepared or tested (and passed with flying colors), will freeze in such circumstances. There is currently no foolproof method to test for this. It is unfortunate that the time where this becomes known is when it happens for real.
Not that I question the number of 15% (actually, I would have thought it was higher), but did this come from a study or other controlled environment, or empirical data?
Just curious - Those would be some interesting studies to read.
