Near Death Experience

I felt adrenaline rushed in my body when the impact left me paralyzed for 3 minutes. In a count of three, I was flung around 7 meters in lenght and up a height of 1.8 to 2 meters. It was totally equal to a one storey suicide. It was in a split second, I realized I was lying face up on cemented floor trying to calm down and recollect myself. It initial impact was so great that for the first time in my entire life, I was shocked and yet, I could not think much.

I was nearly paralyzed for 40 seconds upon impact. I tried moving and bending my back but it was as if it has been nailed with a piece of iron to my spine. Knowing that of my own condition, I laid their motionless to recollect and clam myself down. Everyone watch in horror as I lay their as still as a corpse only with an occasional blink of an eye. I ordered for a moment of silence as this will definitely help recollect my soul and mind.

Three minutes passed and the crowd was terrified, afraid that they have severely injured a friend or even lose their friend in just 13 seconds of play. Everyone, especially James heave a sigh of relieve when I miraculously manage to sit up on my own. I got to my feet myself but they supported me by side fearing that I may collapse again.

Cody, Lewis, Christopher, Elijah, Fayyadh, Nicholas, William, Phillip and James decide to play something. Firstly, they would seat on a chair with four guys standing at each corner. In a count of three, they would carry the person and throw him upwards and towards another group of receiving guys at another end. After they each took turns and volunteered for the throw, they begin choosing people for the fun and I was one of them. It wasn’t entirely their fault because I was somewhat interested and did not show much hesitation. I actually allowed them to fling me for two times.

For the first time, it was rather thrilling and fun and the landing and impact was very smooth. They manage to catch and cushion my fall in time and in place. Thanks so much to Nicholas because he had almost cushioned my entire weight while I impact. I guess that is so that I can land safely. However, on the second throw, things went horribly wrong. The guys were quite confident and we had underestimated their strength and the expected impact distance. As a result, I flew above the heads of those 1.8 meters tall boys and landed miserably and harshly on the concrete hard ground.

To my surprise, this particular impact was far less severe to what I thought I could be. I landed straight on my back. Though there was not much excruciating pain, the feeling of your spinal cord locked in place and the possibility that you could be paralyzed for the rest of my life still sent shivers down my spine. I was very impressed with myself after the fall because I could actually sit up and stand up onto my feet without much external support.

Plus, I did not break or in cold sweat or really panicked after the drama that went horrendously wrong. I was in a state of shocked when I laid there motionless but I manage to bring back my clear and stable state of myself shortly after. I was seriously very impressed with myself.

I was later told of how petrified the people in the room were. Everyone crowded around and watch in absolute horror and terrified at the thought that they could have severely injured this friend and even lose this friend of theirs forever. James was so worried and terrified that he broke out in cold sweat while Kai Lee broke down crying. Kelly was praying for me while the others had their eyes locked on me as I recover myself. There was at least 15 people in class as they witness incident unfolds under their nose.

In just under thirty minutes, I was already able to turn bend and turn myself close to 180 degrees and they were all relieve. Instead of them reassuring me, it turns out to be the other way round. I was practically reassuring them until I could really laugh it off. James, Christopher and Adeline was really petrified and they describe my deadened expression while I was on the ground. I had indeed frightened their soul of them.

I think Kai Lee was the most terrified because she really broke down according to them. I felt quite bad during the consultation because there she was being so timid and horrified while I’m on another side trying to laugh it off like an complete idiot.

I guess this was the closest near death experience I have ever crossed my path. And I really had to thank God for giving me this chance to fulfill my life’s tasks. I would also like to thank and reassure all friends that I’m complete in one piece and my back doesn’t really hurts after all. Other than just a little aching, it was merely a superficial abrasion on my arm. It’s not time for me to go yet and I will live longer and appreciate life more.

Adeline has recorded a full length video of the entire incident and I will definitely upload it and let you people watch I’d impacted. However, she panicked to the extend that she stopped everything and had not captured how I laid motionless on the floor.

“The world turns on a whole new light when you finally understood that you could go tomorrow”
