      Only for a brief moment, how long would it take you to realize that you weren’t hooked up.

      Someone linked a video. The person looks like they believed they were safe. Hopefully they never realized and died immediately.

        Another article that I read said that when they got down to her the nurse that treated her said she was still alive with a low heartbeat and slow breathing…

          That doesn’t mean conscious. I’d imagine maybe a confused moment of “shouldn’t that pull me up about now?” except the impact and loss of consciousness prior to the complete thought.

            I did a 100ft free fall into a net once. When the adrenaline is going, you have plenty of time to think about it. Mathematically, I know the drop took about 2.5 seconds, but it felt like a full two minutes. My perception of it was 30 seconds of “Wow, this view is really nice” and 90 seconds of “What the fuck? Where’s the net? Why am I still falling? What the fuck?!”

            So, yeah, she probably had plenty of time to panic.

              I did an 18m cliff jump from a deep water solo climb into the sea.
              Took so long I thought I’d missed the sea. Opened my eyes to see what was happening and the sea was right there saying “surprise!”.
              I burst most of the blood vessels in both my eyes.

                how is your vision? I guess that doesn’t heal much :(

              I slid at least 2 miles on my motorcycle, well I was off my motorcycle sliding on the pavement, I maybe slid 80 feet, no I didn’t feel the bone as it was shaved down by the pavement, adrenaline gives plenty of time but hopefully blunted the pain.

      Hopefully they never even knew. Just assumed the catch would come until it suddenly didn’t and they never noticed.
