I went to fix it but lost my balance on my bike and crashed hardcore. I flew through the air for at least 5 seconds before hitting the ground. I remember how time slowed down and I was thinking about how playing with these things in the woods was a pretty stupid thing to get killed over. After I hit the ground, I felt all over myself thinking that surely I was impaled and dying. Luckily the kama moved and only cut a swathe through my jacket. It's weird though thinking about how slow time went. I was really sure I was dead.
i had the time thing happen to me in the car wreck.... it's also the only time i've been looking straight ahead (as in i was in the back seat and i was looking forward, through the windsheiled) but i was looking at ground... if it hadn't been for the slow time and quick thinking i surely would have been really hurt... but i put one foot on each side of the floorboard (as in one foot behind the drivers seat, one behind the passanger seat) put my right hand on the ceiling and pushed, and leaned over and grabbed the seat on it's side (there as no back door or i'd of grabbed the handle you grab to close the door with) and used all my strength to hold on...

didn't get hurt at all.... but i've seen plenty of lesser wrecks where the people didn't even walk away, much less, virtually un hurt (i bruised my knees, that's it)

it's kinda cheesy, but it is exactly like you see in the matrix... except you don't move at normal speed whiel everything else slows to a crawl....

i'm still not sure how it works... but i for one do know it does happen... up to that point i never beleived anyone who said they experienced this... i thought it was just perhaps their perception of the event afterwards.. but that's not it, it happens as the event is happening...
slipknotpsycho Reviewed by slipknotpsycho on . How close have you been to death? when i was four, i was jumping on my bed and i landed on my head, through a glass table onto the floor, cracked my head right open, and broke fingers, which left me unconsious all at once. Luckily, it was infront of my mom and grandma so they called 911 How close have you been to death?:chainsaw: Rating: 5
