Jeff NDE

Experience Description

I was in the school parking lot, having a cigarette. My friends were going somewhere in the car, so I sat on the hood of the car. My friend revved the car forward, which sent my body flying off the hood of the car onto the ground. I landed on my feet; but unfortunately, the G-force of the car's speed made me fall on my back very hard and very fast. I then hit my head on the ground. Upon impact, my vision went black.

Through the seconds of my darkened vision, I saw what seemed like multiple bright lights surround my body's shape. The colors were very bright, yellowish-white color mixed with a neon blue.

Seconds later I regained consciousness and was in shock lying on the ground.
