One thing about that stuff is that your brain works incredibly fast in situations like that, it’s rather amazing. Imagine a camera with a 120 frames per second, the mind is more like 1000 fps. I’ve been in many vehicle accidents, I ride motorcycles and off road vehicles as a hobby. When I hit a deer doing 55 mph I was processing images and thoughts at an incredibly fast rate and can to this day remember it all.

That driver was very cognizant of the last split second, and there was an oh shit, I’m dead moment no doubt. Then again, he was probably on drugs I’d think.

This is one of my most recent crashes. I hit a blind sand dune in my UTV doing 35mph. I run the vid in slow motion. Airborne I had so many thoughts go through my head, and how stupid I felt, since I’d crashed in the same darn sand hole 6 months earlier. I wound up with neck strain for 2 weeks and a seriously bruised thumb.
