Adam D NDE

Experience Description

When I was four years old, my family and I went out to go riding four-wheelers. My dad was behind me and I was sitting in front of him, but he was steering with his arms over me. He went really fast up a steep hill, and I was yelling 'No!', but he continued to anyways, thinking it would be fine. We peaked up to the top of the hill and the four-wheeler flipped, my dad ended up falling away from the four-wheeler, but the four-wheeler fell right on top of me and the gas tank punctured my spleen and I immediately passed out. I woke up for a few seconds seeing somebody telling me to wake up, but I passed out again. Right there I began floating above my body just watching, without any concern, just watching as they put me on the stretcher. They put me in the ambulance truck and I couldn't see inside, then I remember just being in a light for a while. I ended up coming back into my body and woke up in the hospital a couple days later; supposedly, I didn't breathe for thirty minutes. Then my mom put in Land Before Time and things were good from there.
