I've heard this from so many people and so many reputable sources that I feel as if I'm the only person that has never experienced this phenomenon. In fact, when I've been in an instance where I've feared for my life (and there have been several) it seems to me that time speeds up and things happen so quickly I only have time to react and not to think. I only seem to recognize something happened after the fact.
