Maybe I'm just too rational or something, but I always feel like these people are hopelessly superstitious and overreacting.
(Of course, I'm so rational that if an actual dinosaur ever bursts through a wall I'm going to be fucked, because I won't buy it until it starts eating me.)

My guess would be that before rationality has a chance to kick in, the "WTF HOLY SHIT RUN" reaction has already assumed direct control.
I would poop my pants.
:rollin:
I think Hiriji has it right. Instinct would probably take over not giving you time to think. Fight or flight.
Definitely fight or flight.

Especially after seeing the other people running away. Hell, I may not have even waited to see the dinosaur before I ran.
I don't give a fuck if its a dino or a mouse, if its busting through a wall, I'm bookin it. Daddy always said, "never be the last one running".

Same here. When you see panicked people running, it's usually a good idea to run away as well.
I definitely subscribe to the GTFO-or-bunker-down school of thought when it comes to anything dangerous. I was with a guy near a transformer when it blew. I ducked and covered like I was at the Somme. My friend just stood there. Neither one of us got hurt or anything, but I joked that he had no survival instinct. Lots of people are like that, apparently. Evolution hasn't quite weeded them out.
I don't see a link or a video or anything. What am I missing here?

OP has an embedded youtube video up. For some reason or another, I guess it's not displaying for you.
Can you see this? Cause it's pretty much the same thing.
