Trauma is relative, subjective. What one person finds traumatic another may find relatively normal. However, the violation of one's own body, even without the threat of being killed, is an ultimate powerlessness. Not being able to protect oneself from violation is terrifying. Facing death is also terrifying. I don't think there is a hierarchy of one being worse than the other. If one is powerless to defend themselves from being raped, one is also powerless from fending off death at the hands of an attacker. On some level it is the same, a violation of the person's very being.
