That sucks. This slow motion perception is a typical fight or flight response. If you are interested in gaining more control over these sorts of situations (and I hope you won't need to) I would recommend taking up a martial art. You can do that with your dad!
Well, it was a few years ago, and I'm not at home anymore. As well, like I said, it's a safe neighbourhood in general. Yeah, I can see how a martial art will help. I bet it develops mental focus in that type of situation, as well as muscle memory as to what to do.
