Has anybody nearly experienced death? What did it feel like?

The closest I've come is an ATV accident. Traveling about 50mph, caught a patch of tall weeds, flipped, ended up snapping my collarbone and breaking my leg in 2 places (of course it was my right collarbone and left leg, rendering me completely useless for 3 months...was in high school and happened the last day of exams and prevented me from playing football the next year).

In the 1-2 seconds that the crash actually happened as well as the 10-20 second aftershock, I felt absolutely nothing. I didn't even really feel anything until the day after. If I snapped my neck and died, I imagine I would have felt the same...nothing.

Has anybody else had a near death experience? What happend? How did you feel? Any lights? Jeebus speak to you?
 


went to mcdonalds while they were having the mcrib special... they were sold out... i imagine thats what hell is like

I've never really afraid of death, as long as it's painless. If you were to snap your neck, I could only imagine that your brain cells will all be dead within minutes(?) and you'll most likely experience massive flashback etc...

I don't care.
 
I have experienced the same thing too - near to die. This is a true story and here in our country witch craft or voodoo dolls are the usual thing to kill a person. Some one want me to die and use witch craft on me.

It was the most horrible feeling that I could ever imagine especially when you do not want to die and in just a matter of seconds you feel that you are going to. The feeling is like being numb and something is being left out from your body. I know that I was going to die but I keep on telling myself and God that I do not want to die. I was like about in college.
 
When I was 8 it was snowing and my Mom was driving and this oncoming car just completely skidded out and my Mom didn't panic and just pulled to the right and dodged it. Generally she panics and could've braked for whatever reason or pulled over to the right too late.

Unless you suffer injury you really don't remember these kinds of things because it didn't physically affect you, so I don't really think at night that I could've been dead.
 
I nearly drowned when I was surfing about 15 years ago. It was a pretty big day during the winter and I got stuck in the impact zone. I was basically paddling in place trying to duck dive 12 footers and I couldn't get out or in. My leash finally broke and I was taking sets on the head when I got pushed under and couldn't find my way to the surface. I was being thrown around underwater and I was panicked as hell for a few seconds. I remember actually telling myself that I was probably going to die. I was already so tired from paddling for 5 minutes straight that I had no energy left and I didn't get a good breath before I went under.

It felt like minutes but it was probably only several seconds. I was being held down and thinking about my wife and my family and how much I was going to miss them. I had no air left and somehow I popped up to the surface and got a breath. I was closer to the beach by then and I was able to get in. I just laid on the beach thinking how close I had come to passing out and probably drowning. My buddies never even saw what was happening, but come to find out later that one of them had the same thing happening to him, at the same time, just further down the beach. I think that's about as close as I've come to dying.
 
Got cocky and started passing some cars this past winter up in the Sierras wondering why they were going so slow on a straightaway... turns out around the bend at the end of the straightaway coming the other direction was a snow plow.

I knew I couldn't stop in time since it was snowing so I sped up to (hopefully) get around the final car and not kill anyone. Ended up hitting the snow plow on the side instead of head-on. Thought shit I'm gonna die then my mind went blank until afterward.

Stupidest thing I've ever done. 4 cousins in the vehicle with me, everyone walks away with no major injuries and only bruises including myself. CHP says they could arrest me for reckless driving but let me go and don't even ticket me. Stupidest part about it is I borrowed the car so I could fit more people in it on the trip and was so careless, when with my own car I would have been much more careful and never passed to begin with.

I spent 5 days on life support about 10 years ago and then 14 days sedated. I recall nothing apart from coming to, surrounded by close family and hallucinating my arse off - while dosed to the eye balls on morphine. There was a guy in ICU though that died 3 times, I became friends with him and he had no recollection of anything either.
 
ever lost consciousness? same thing... just like going to sleep, except you don't wake up.

Very lucky, I know a guy that killed 4 of his friends by driving like an idiot. Imagine living with that for the rest of your life...
 
When I was born, I almost died as I was born very sick. The doctors told my mother I would not make it. But, somehow, I did.

It's funny how they say in infancy you retain no memories but I have a very vivid memory of my grandfather entering the hospital room and making funny faces at me. This is when I was only weeks old. I have 2 memories of my infancy (this being one of them) which I shared with my parents when I was older and they couldn't believe I had such a detailed memory of the incidents.

Not really a near-death experience, but I was close to death when the memory was imprinted on my mind, so who knows?

What country are you in? Nigeria?
 
I remember when I was around 15 years old, I went to school, had a normal day, everything according to schedule, and when I was going home while crossing the street this car (that was driven by a clearly very drunk man) going really fast is headed towards me. I had almost no time to react and on instinct I jumped as far as I could but the edge of the car still hit me a little. I passed out (probably from fear because none of the injuries could cause that) but I remember thinking at the moment that I saw the car: Wow, a car accident.. Really? This is how I'm going to die? Such a crappy way.. No fucking way.. But I didn't feel fear..
In that period I was obsessed with comics and anime series, and all of the heroes there died a spectacular death, and I wanted to do that too..
I got away with a broken rib, I broke my leg, and I had bruises all over my shoulders and arms..
If I hadn't jumped away the car would have probably hit me real hard and I may have died.
 
That feeling when you are going down the stairs, and you miss a step..

That strange feeling in your stomach.. That's gotta be my most scariest feeling as I have not really experienced main life threatening issues.
 
I was born basically dead. I can tell you first hand that there is only nothingness.
