Francisco J NDE

Experience Description

There was a wall next to a swing, and I jumped from this wall to grab the cross-bar of the swing. My hands slipped and I fell on my back from a height of over six feet, hitting my head as well. Then I saw my whole life in fast-forward. When I woke up there were a lot of people around me, asking me if I was okay, and I told them I was in a bit of pain, then asked them how many hours I had been there. They told me that I had not been there for hours, but just for a few seconds.
