You're not scared to die; you just don't want to die at this point and time. When we're pushed into a corner, like completely to the point where we know we have no other option but to act despite being afraid, then we still act. If I had no choice but to fight a fucking tiger right now, I guess I'd be fighting a fucking tiger, despite being afraid...because ultimately, my choices would then be to either fight for my life or just let myself get eaten. I would know that there would be no hope in trying to escape the situation (because obviously, that tiger is going to fucking outrun me if I try...probably after it gives me a 30 second head start just for kicks), so bottom line is, I'd have to confront it.
