GoPro video released by a Ukrainian Soldier shows the calmest reaction to artillery fire imaginable. Not only do the Ukrainians hit the deck like they're jumping on a bed to watch TV, they also have a laugh at the fact they're still alive while they maneuver to a position of better cover.

I'm going to assume the laughter is mostly a coping mechanism. People do weird things after having a close call with death, and one of the least weird out of all of them is using dark humor to laugh about the fact you just came a centimeter away from dying.

This style of humor is often referred to as Gallows Humor or more commonly amongst people in combat, Commando Humor. These two dudes are both lucky to be alive.
