Your life only flashes before your eyes in some cases, from what I understand. The brain responds to different levels of threat in different ways. One accident I was in, time slowed down to a crawl right before impact. What a horrible feeling, like being trapped in the flow of time and having too much chance to see and contemplate what was about to happen, without being able to stop it. Another time, all my senses went high alert and I was driving much better, which actually minimized the accident to the point that several cars that would otherwise have been involved were missed, and only the idiot who hit me while talking on a cell phone and pulling into oncoming traffic was involved in the accident with me.
