Ever been in one? Probably one of the most intense things Ive ever gone through. |

Sorry, I'll start off. Many years ago, I hydro planed into a massive tree at about 40 mph on a snowy night. I had premonitions about it for weeks too. The car gets pulled into the tree, everything goes slow motion. I brace myself. I hit the steering wheel and black out. I wake up after a bit, Don't know how long. Notice the steering wheel is bent completely. I get out. Car is crumpled like a tin can. I run to my friends place a couple miles a way. I storm into his home bleeding like a stuck pig. Face totally cut to pieces. You get the picture. |

Shit! I was in one about ten years ago. My mother was driving and the car went over a large puddle of water rather fast, we planned and hit a sign on a large refuge.. It felt like it happened in two seconds, didn't understand what the f was going on.. My mother said she saw her whole life flash before her eyes just before she/we hit the sign. Nobody got hurt but it was one brutal day.. |

Some kid and his ma once walked into the side of my car on a rainy day as I was approaching traffic lights. |

woah, both full on stories. bogala, what kinda premonitions ? |

I felt like the car was pulling me off the road for a couple weeks. Like it wanted to go in the direction that it did. I t was really weird. I'm not much for the paranormal, but I have experienced paranormal things. I was living, I'm convinced, in a haunted apartment at the time. The complex was built over a cemetery. Haunted, like feeling evil entities standing over me. My roommate had the same thing happen the same night in his room and we both shared the story. We started to tell the same story at the same time. Then he put a cross up on the wall and it fell to the ground. |

on a 700km journey from canada into the mountains of new hampshire, our rental car managed to crash just one block away from the destination. we were in the middle of a snow storm, and the roads were iced up. instead of going around the last bend, the car just kept going straight. slid right across the other lane and into the ditch. was a very interesting experience, a sort of slow-motion hyper-awareness. infinity happening in an instant. i managed to get out some nonchalant remark as we were sliding, i think it was "this is good.." luckily the snow cushioned the impact, didn't even set the air bags off. the front bumper was ripped apart, though. and my mom didn't get renters insurance. a $3000 mistake :\ |

I've slid on ice plenty of times, including on country roads once spinning a transit van on a roundabout--but I've never experienced any "hyper awareness" or "life flashing" incidents. |

Yes, Time slows down. Its amazing, really. |
||||||||

Its also made me sort of anti car. Id much rather take the train than maneuver at high speeds on the interstate. Those people are nuts. Especially those 18 wheelers. Just one fuck up needs to happen out there and all hell could break loose. |

Been in tons of minor bumps and scrapes, but no full fledged wrecks. But I definitely know that distinctive feeling of time slowing down/life flashing before your eyes. I remember sliding on ice going through a stop sign, right through a busy intersection. A couple of cars going full speed JUST missed intercepting me, I might have been pulverized. Scared the shit out of me and that aspect of my driving has improved since then, I'm much more careful about icy intersection approaches now. Still way too nonchalant with everything else though. |

I was riding in my friend's car on the way back to our hometown, and we came to a stretch of road passing over a creek that was 1 lane each way, with only about two feet of clearance to the side before a guardrail. We were stuck behind a large, open-backed truck with assorted lawn tools and tractors and such that was going well under the speed limit. Trying to make good time, my friend, Paul, has the bright idea to pass the truck, and as we are passing the point of no return, we notice there are two girls walking their bikes up onto the road (because the sidewalk ends at the creek). Paul's first reaction was to get the car off the road since veering right would hit the work-truck, but we slammed into the guardrail hard, and in his panic he locked the brakes. It was at this point in time I was expecting my life to flash before my eyes and all that, but I was overwhelmed to the point of complacency, and all I could do was throw up my hands and shut my eyes. We ended up skidding straight into the lead girl, and she flew up onto the windshield right in front of me. Banged up her knee and forehead pretty bad, but luckily she lived. When the paramedics arrived, a few ran straight over to me which was surprising because I didn't think I was hurt. Turns out it was lucky I threw my arms up, otherwise my face would have been shredded by imploding glass. They bandaged my hands up and then rejoined their buddies attending the girl. I sat on the side of the road while Paul dealt with the police report. His car was considered totalled by the insurance company. I wanted to say something to the girl we didn't hit, but I didn't know what to say. Eventually we were allowed to go home, a friend came and picked us up. I had to throw the shirt I was wearing that day out because the blood had stained it. That was the worst wreck I've been in... It was a really bad day but at least nobody died. |

ended up on the AC expressway by accident because of overwhelming traffic in AC due to a boxing match that night and some jerkoff (who said a guy came up to him with a gun and told him to get out of his car, thus he was speeding to get away from him) T boned me while going at least 80 and i was doing 55. wrecked my car and i broke my collarbone in the accident. seatbelt did it but also avoided much worse because obviously. so how does someone who tries to carjack you chase you in a car? this happened 2-3 years ago and i'm still not fully comfortable driving. actually had a panic attack almost a year ago while riding with a friend. |

one of my first memories is a car wreck. i remember being constrained in the car seat, crying from the noise and having an awful headache from wacking it on the back of the carseat. it was in a residential neighborhood, and it was my mother who'd been driving the little toyota. we were rear-ended, and i remember my mom trying to get some guy who was mowing his lawn's attention, but he was oblivious. never been in a crash more serious, just a couple of knicks here and there. |

i was stupidly reading something one day a few years ago and accidentally drove a company car off a three foot drop between these apartment parking lots. needless to say it fucked the car up pretty bad but hey i didnt get hurt! i drove off (the exhaust was torn off and VERY loud) and some guy who saw it happen called where i worked (the number was on the car) and was like "is that dude ok? he just drove a car off a three foot drop and it didnt look good." i had this perfect story all picked out too about how the exhaust just tore off probably because the cracked front axle knocked it loose. fucker. |

thankfully i've never been in a car wreck, however i have had that 'time slowing down' sensation from accidents on my mountain bike. the worst one i had ended up with me in hospital with about 7 hours memory loss, had to have brain scans and stuff, i still don't remember what actually happened that day and neither do the friends i was with as i had ridden ahead and they just found me lying on the floor. fortunately i was wearing a helmet as i always do...it probably saved me from a lot worse that day as helmets have done on previous occasions too. on the 2 occasions where i've had the slow time experience the very same thought has always passed through my head in the few seconds before impact..."oh shit, this is going to hurt!" |

One morning seven years ago I was driving to school. The temperature was a little above freezing and it was slightly rainy. I hit an icy spot and the car slid sideways. That's the last thing I remember about that. No life flashing or anything, just a big hhhhhhhhhkkkkkkk noise as the car slid around. When I regained consciousness the car was upside down in the center of the road and some guy was breaking the side window in order to extract me. When the car slid sideways, it must have reached the end of the icy patch, come to an extremely sudden stop, and flipped over. I never left the road. I ended up with a minor concussion and a good many tiny cuts from flying glass. |

Nope. I've clipped a wall at about 20mph courtesy of some cock in the oncoming lane taking the centre line through a corner, but no, not a proper crash. I've thrown my motorbike down the road a few times, but never seriously damaged it (or myself). Oyvinto: Have a read of JG Ballard's "Crash" and Chuck Palahnuick's "Rant". HTH. |

Went over a ledge on a camping trip with a macho dickhead driver, trying to show off fish tails on hairpin turns. Heres some photos we took when it was being towed - Went we went over I was very peacefull about his last second "sorry man", and braced myself. We flipped twice and I'd have to say the scariest thing was how painless it was when it happened, because when I came to I was afraid that something was broken and I just didn't know it yet, or that my friend was dead. Took 10 seconds to get a response from him, those 10 seconds felt like forever, I didn't want to find myself next to a dead body. Ahh, memories. Sliced my scalp open through the window, I remember not being able to leave the scab alone, I'm terrible with scabs. |

i was riding around with a friend about 5 summers ago, and some lady didn't stop at the stop sign, and we hit her going at least 30. My head went almost through the windshield, my head hit so hard it spidered all the way to each side of the windshield. I walked away with a minor concusion and an egg on my forehead. minimal blood from what i can remember... but yeah the slow motion thing is very true in my case, as well. |

^^^thats horrible, i bet you get flashbacks of it, i got the slow mo thing too. You might think your a great driver, but there are idiots out there who will cause accidents which are almost unavoidable. Your life could end at any time on the road, some sick shit |

No civilian wreck, other than a tiny fender-bender at 5mph. i rolled my rally car multiple times at 70mph after coming down left over a crest and the snow sucked the car right into the snow bank. that was fun :) |

Yes, it's a fucker how most accidents for bikers are caused by idiots in cars turning right across our paths. It's some slight comfort to consider that these are usually low speed incidents round town that don't result in serious injury and that most accidents resulting in death of the rider are the riders' fault. |
