Dying from a fall like that has to be one of the worst ways to die, assuming that you’re actually conscious while falling. To know that near-certain death is imminent, with few ways to avoid it, and to watch as the ground rises to meet your speeding body...does anyone know if people black out under such circumstances, or what other perceptions they feel?
They do not black out, it is terror all the way to death.
At least with a skydiver who has a malfunctioning parachute they are busy trying to remedy the situation.
Well, Lou L, I believe that last thing that goes through their mind...is their a$$.
best thing to do in that situation is to miss the ground
Well, the last thing to go through their mind is probably their anal orifice.
I recommend turning so you look up, and pondering whether that cloud more closely resembles a sheep or a horse.
“”does anyone know if people black out under such circumstances, or what other perceptions they feel?””
Come on! They would have to come back from the dead to tell you! Has there ever been someone that has come back to life from falling to their death? Not that I know of.
It's a tough question to answer because you have no one who has ever survived the ultimate death that can answer it.
I have my own thoughts tho, I believe the body and brain go beyond the immediate fear and knowledge of the impending death and enter into a non feeling stasis where the brain immediately shuts everything down in preparation of the coming trauma which will liklely result in death.
I'm not arguing anything, I'm just offering an opinion so keep the flames away from me.......
And yet they survived the accident.......
