Experience description: 

I was cleaning the undercarriage of a car and it fell off the jack stand.  It fell on me and the pinch weld hit my head and knocked me out.

I was aware of the car falling then I felt a bump, like a mall rock hitting my head and then I got up.  It was like colors were more than colors.  It looked like i could touch them, it felt like the air was silk sheets moving over my body.  I felt like I was being watched, and I looked around and saw no one.  I then turned around and saw my head bleeding.  Then I felt like i was falling and then i was back in my body.  My Wife soon after, came out screaming for the amount of blood coming out of my head.  she drove me to the hospital where I had a minor skull fracture, and I needed 6 stitches.  Other than that I was fine.
