It's funny when he talks about there being no pain after he was hit by the gernade. I ride the bike a lot, and I was hit head on by a car, and that's one thing I remember; it didn't hurt.

As soon as I realized that i was gonna hit an oncoming car, my brain somehow accepted that it was the end of my life. I remember thinking "I guess this is it" in an almost sarcastic way. there was no fear, felt very rational. Thankfully i only hit the front side of the car and made it without any serious injuries. But I'll always remember that feeling of acceptance.

Thankfully, each time I experienced the moment, something happened and I was able to survive the situation, but I will always remember the way my brain was able to process the moment and I felt complete acceptance and a little bit of curiosity about dying.
