The adrenaline rush you’d get from the stress of the crash directs your body’s attention to other more important things (like making sure your heart stays pumping). This masks the pain you would feel. It’s similar to stories of people suddenly becoming very strong in dangerous situations and finding out after that they broke a bone in the process.
