The human body has an expansive system of early warning detectors that constantly monitor for problems: the nervous system. Much like your home smoke alarm might start screeching at the first wisp of smoke from a burned dinner, nerve endings throughout the body alert us immediately when your hand slips and hits the hyper-hot pan while removing that charred meal from the stove. These pain signals tell you to STOP, which causes you to recoil quickly, hopefully before any lasting damage can be done.
