I can see why this would happenLaughing and swearing originate in the same part of the brain. Fear plays a big role as well. The shock might make you giggle and then the horror at yourself and the very real fear you'd be killed would continue the nervous reaction/giggling. This would be especially exacerbated by the helpless feeling of not being able to do anything to ameliorate what was going on.
happybara, I'm pretty sure you didn't think it was funny; your giggling is a nervous reaction just like jumping when hit with a reflex hammer.
