Have you ever had something happen and it looked like it was happing in slow motion?

Once I was revving up a chain saw and the chain broke and flew off the chain saw bar. It  came off the bar in a J shape then it straightened up  and flew as straight as an arrow towards my son who was about 30 feet away. It was probably flying threw the air pretty fast but it seemed like it was all happing in slow motion - seemed like an eternity standing there watching it fly threw the air and wondering if my kid was going to get cut in half luckily he wasn't hurt. Cheers

    Yes. Car accidents and any near-death thing.  Always feels that way.

    You could call it 'time dilation'. I'very never experienced it but happens like for example when people in a vehicle are seeing an imminent collision coming to happen.

    Yes.  I'd ignore Randy. He is being silly again.

    Yes. (like has been mentioned) for me, when I drove off a bridge by accident.

  • It feels like most of the stupid decisions I've made happened this way.  Like I exit the body and watch myself slowly and dramatically being a moron.
