This was pretty interesting. Who wants to be a part of this study?

Fascinating. I'll pass on the study... but I have experienced this phenomenon, illusion, whatever... in car crashes, and when I was hit by a car. It's like you have bags of time to think about everything (like, what's going to happen when your vehicle hits the 18 wheeler two lanes over), but no time to actually DO anything.

Actually I've experienced this time lapse thing when I had a near death experience, or what I thought was a near death experience.

I was on my parent's boat after fishing, and I went onto the swim platform to bring back in the bucket of minnows, the bucket was so big, I couldn't physically lift it over the top so I figured I'd grab it and lift it from the platform.

While I was back there, my dad decided to take off, and I fell off the edge into the water, missing the propeller by inches, I thought I was going to be another one of those short videos I used to watch when I was a kid, FACES OF DEATH).

They told me that I was only submerged for a couple seconds, but while I was under water, I thought I'd drown down there. I had so much time to think about my life, and how this wasn't the way I thought that I'd bite the big one.

I kept kicking my legs, for what seemed like several minutes, to get back up to the surface. I kept reaching for the light, but it was unattainable. When I finally broke surface, I was literally freaked out, and exhausted.

I'll skip the study. I don't know what it is exactly, but I wish I could turn it on when ever I wanted to.

I've experienced it a few times over the years... a few car accidents, a few fights when I was younger and moments when my kids have done something extremely dangerous.

It's some natural survival tool brought on by panic. Panic Mode.

I don't think it's the only one though. Black out mode is there too. Brought on by the same kind of circumstance. Like, one moment you realize something really bad is about to happen *discontinuity* and it's over without anything really happening that you can remember in between. Yet, you know something HAD to have happened... you car is in the ditch, off and in park... and there is no deer decorating your grill.

Awesome.
