Not slowing, more like a fog or suspension of individual agency. A preview of ghost existence.

Yes and yes, simultaneously. Paragliding collision. It was like I was standing outside my life, looking at it like you might look at a sculpture. Meanwhile I had all the time in the world to find and throw my reserve.

That is a particularly clear example because of the calibrating effect of you having the anchor event of throwing the reserve... most examples I know of are too inert.

Yes. Crossed a major street on a bike without stopping or looking both ways. A car missed me by at most several feet.

I dodged a T-bone crash recently from someone who ran a red light. Brains perception of time did slow down a lot. But didnt have 'my life flash past'.

I have had the latter, but not the former. I slipped and fell while hiking, and the ~0.7 seconds it took to hit the ground lasted forever.
-
During that time my brain gave me an extensive lecture about how I was actually going to be fine, and what the plan would be when I hit the ground and started rolling down the mountain.
