I would chalk that up to adrenaline. Also the pain depends on where the break is. If the muscles around the broken bone are spasming, then the two halves of the bone are going to be grinding against each other. That's why we use a splint in first aid.
Not adrenaline in my case. I was just messing around with friends and one fell and landed on my foot. It didn't hurt at all from my recollection, but I couldn't walk. But yeah, it totally depends on where it is and what kind of a break it is. The bone breaking part itself though doesn't really hurt. What it causes can hurt and the stuff that causes it can hurt.
