You know that thing about your entire life flashing past you? Bullshit. Pure bullshit.
Yup, didn't happen for me either. I had a similar experience in the states on the highway and as I slid around the highway watching the other cars carefully slip past me all I thought about was my mom, and how far away my body would be and that she would have to have me shipped home.
As it turns out my Saturn with the plastic side panels and plasting bumpers really acts just like a bumper car. I hit the rail with my front bumper, bounced back out into the road and spun again and hit the rail with my back bumper and came to a rest. Considering I had been travelling somewhere between 90 and 100 km/hr I was incredibly lucky to be able to just restart my car and pull away from the scene and travel the rest of the 8 or so hours home.
It's amazing what can happen in a split second, and what chances allow us to survive while other people don't. In some ways life is really just a crapshoot!
