i would just to experience it. afterall, dying might not be such a bad thing for different people.
 

Nothing, nothing and more nothing, just blackness and hearing myself thinking "You a$$, look what you have done now".

I was electrocuted by a large flyback transformer in a large console TV set.

Crossing the tracks without looking.

so you still could think when you were dead? hum..
i love listen to stories like this..so interesting
 

That's as I was dying, onced the lights went out, nothing, just plain and simple nothing.

Waking up was more painful than dying, if that's what you are looking for, I don't recommend it.

You're quite a resiliant man, Roger.

Do you know how long you were dead before the EMT's were able to revive you?

HELL YES I WOULD, It would be sweet as sh!t to just run and jump off of a tall building or into the Gorge near me if i knew i was gonna live afterwards. Like Groundhog Day I'd just try to find new and different ways to put myself out. Just think of all the risky and dangerous things u could do without having to worry!!

I don't have the faintest idea, all I can tell you is that it was very painful coming back.

Were you conscious and aware of your heart beginning to beat again? What kind of pain was it? Sore all over, or concentrated? Do you remember what your thoughts were when you were revived (family, etc.)?

Sorry about all the questions, but I've never met anyone who's died before... *can't seem to find an appropriate emoticon*

What, you couldn't hear the train rushing up towards you or feel the rumbling in the ground?

I would just to.. I don't know... Find some answers and ask other questions... Doesn't anyone worry about Einstein's theory about the afterlife? He believes that our human "soul" (conciousness) is basically pure energy. According to Einstein, energy can not die so our soul MUST live on.. He never says if our sould goes to heaven or hell or if it roams the physical world.. What bothers me is the thought that our "soul" could be energy trapped in our rotting corpse.. So, after you die, you are concious of your surrounding - a coffin, etc- but incapable of having any control over said conciousness.. In other words you'd be doomed to spend the rest of eternity in a grave.

It's an interesting question. I can't fathom energy as a "soul" with a persistent individual conciousness. Alternative, collective conciousness is easier for me to align with the whole conservation of energy theme.
 

Very funny people, two trains came from both directions at once, I jumped out of the way of one right into another.

You've got to remember that this was twenty something years ago, I do remember my heart stopped beating and the lights going out, that's it, as for coming back, very painful because of the train impacting my body, the electrocution was painful because of the muscle contractions you get when you are electrocuted.


I am not the ANTICHRIST you sick bastard, if I was, you would not be breathing right now, I'd make sure of that.

Absolutely, then I can go on ATOT and end this religious fued once and for all.

Cheers to that!

i'd try it... if it was 100% guaranteed I'd be resurrected with no CON loss... :D

LMAO@riding a nuke into the ground. Damn...

I've grown accustomed to this crazy thing called life so no, I wouldn't do it!
