People panic, Teacher. It's our nature. Nothing to be ashamed of. When a bad situation happens, when those first feeling of panic start to sink in, just stop. Focus. Breathe deeply through the nose and force yourself to be calm. Practice this during non emergency times and it will become instinctive, like proper bone alignment when throwing a punch in martial arts. Then when the emergency do's happen you'll cool, calm and in control. If you can teach, you can do this. Hope this helps.
