I have always seen the effect ascribed to a combination of the low 
temperature and the "dive effect". A set of physiological changes in
blood-flow and metabolism wich occur when you put your head underwater;
which collectively aid survival without breathing.[The effect is much
more pronounced in aquatic mammals such as seals.]  This would seem
reduce its relevance to cryon.
