Paul H NDE

I had an accident during a motor race. I slammed into two cars in front of me. Exactly when I had the hit, I seemed to be ‘lifted’ out of the car and then hovered above it. I saw everything in detail, the color of my helmet, everything, the car was even still moving a bit.

I did not hear noise or speech and the feeling in general was peaceful. I was not afraid, only taken away and taking the experience in. I would like to experience the same thing again, as it was very special. Then suddenly, I must have regained consciousness again, and I was sitting normally in the car.
