I've been in a situation where I thought I was already dead- I crashed a motorcycle and slid across traffic, I was sure i got ran over because I was looking at a headlight while rolling and then came to a stop in a ditch, but it was a nice ditch (lol) tall grass, soft dirt etc. And it was a beautiful day.. I remember looking at the sky trying to decide if I was dying or already dead, because I couldn't feel anything. The way to describe the sensation is that I was at absolute peace. Then I heard someone running up to me and they yelled "are you okay?!?!" Which triggered an "inventory" of what hurts? everything! Then fight or flight happened and it was just an adrenaline rush that had me jumping around (on a broken foot) and super hyped up lol.. But for a brief moment in my life, I thought I was dead & 18 year old me was totally cool with it.

@yewisemountaingoat5283 жыл бұрын
@@Killerpixel11 "we still don't really understand the human brain" Nonsense. It's perfectly explainable. When a human is in a life-or-death situation the body pumps an insane amount of adrenalin into your blood stream and the brain shuts down all other senses and perception except for the fast thinking which is needed to survive a dangerous situation. They have studied this for decades now. The survivors all say the same. They noticed how their mind becomes incredibly streamlined and ignores all the stimuli which they would normally perceive. This is also how they don't feel fear because all those emotions are supressed under the adrenalin. It's simple, if the brain was a computer which runs 60-70 processes then the life-or-death situation shuts down everything except for those life-saving 5-6 processes. Hence all energy and the human brain is focused on fast thinking to survive. we still don't really understand the human brain" Speak for yourself, never "we". Have you gone to med school? Then what do you know about neurology and the human brain?

This proves that having people around you who love you is often the reason why you keep living. You fight for them. 2. The suit and the helmet he was wearing saved his life. Credits go to the scientists who invented such suits and helmets. Without them, he would have died painfullt in the first seconds. 3. And of course the cage of the car, even if the car was broken into two pieces .. science and dedication again. Great respect.

I've had internal bleeding and almost died. On the way to hospital i was in and out of consciousness and i could feel and hear everyone was panicing yet i was so calm, i could see outside of the car as in movies as in bright light almost blinding me. It was not like a spiritual bright light, i guess my pupils were getting bigger or something but it was also giving me peace. I didn't think i was dying tho, i guess that calm feeling came before i ever realised i might be dying. So anyway excuse my english, it's not my first language and you might wanna search on dmt. I'm pretty sure that's what was happening to me.

After hearing this you know why he lost his left shoe. Also Romain played a huge, huge part in why he survived after the initial crash. The fact he actually was stuck in all sorts of directions and almost gave up is heartbreaking. Man I just can’t believe that at 30 or so seconds engulfed in flames he managed to free himself. Had that not happened we might have a different outcome. This guy truly showed us all that he’s actually incredibly tough and resilient. I don’t know how he doesn’t chock back tears while explaining this. What an incredible human we now know Romain Grosjean is. A true F1 hero for sure.
