That doesn’t mean conscious. I’d imagine maybe a confused moment of “shouldn’t that pull me up about now?” except the impact and loss of consciousness prior to the complete thought.
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.
I did an 18m cliff jump from a deep water solo climb into the sea.
Took so long I thought I’d missed the sea. Opened my eyes to see what was happening and the sea was right there saying “surprise!”.
I burst most of the blood vessels in both my eyes.
I slid at least 2 miles on my motorcycle, well I was off my motorcycle sliding on the pavement, I maybe slid 80 feet, no I didn’t feel the bone as it was shaved down by the pavement, adrenaline gives plenty of time but hopefully blunted the pain.
