JohnRich 4 #2 October 28, 2011 Wouldn't that make them living-dead zombies? As a matter of fact, why yes, there are some zombie skydivers out there. They seem to be most prevalent on Sunday mornings. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PhoenixPhive 0 #9 October 28, 2011 when you are 24, and a new mother, the lst thing you want to experience is death... climbing above the ground, seeing the earth as i left it, thinking about all 34 years... i wouldn't say that that ws mutually exclusive of existence Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

oldwomanc6 38 #14 October 28, 2011 Quotewhat do you remeember seeing... I remember looking down as if I was on the ceiling (Yes, trite, but maybe there is something to the first "stage"). The surgeons/staff were all in a flurry, working on "me". For a while, They were upset and yelling at each other. Then I woke up in a room (recovery, I guess). I told my husband, Mike about this when I woke up. I told others, too. Several weeks later, I asked the doctors (who did the surgery) about this, and they RELUCTANTLY said;" yes, you did crash on the table, and how did you know?" They didn't tell me or my loved ones this. (This was under the military health care system). It was not part of any medical record that I ever saw. Don't get me wrong, Other Than The Dying Thing, they did a great job. Most who had this injury, then, would not be walking as well as I am. I'm grateful they were my surgeons. I never asked why I died. Maybe, I should have.lisa WSCR 594 FB 1023 CBDB 9 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PhoenixPhive 0 #25 October 29, 2011 yeah, but now there is modern medical "technology", so, it is actually possible to have died, come back and then skydived Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
