More prosaically, surfing. If you have my skill level you spend a tiny proportion of each surf session on a wave but when standing on a board, environment is so dynamic that senses are fully engaged and time slows a lot - not sure if this fits your “stopping” criteria or not.

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.

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.

Yeah the anxiety/panic dilation effect is well documented. David Eagleman did some clever experiments with theme park drop tower rides to demonstrate that (those falling estimated the fall time to be significantly longer than ground observers)

Do you ever have visions of little slice of life moments that happen later in your life? Innocuous but very clear visions. For example, I saw the view out the window of a bedroom in a house I bought 5 years later.
