It seems that in certain dangerous situations, perception of time goes into slow motion, such that a person is aware of everything happening at a different rate if time than what is normal. People have experienced this when involved in a car accident, when falling from a tree or similar event where there is a time between the beginning and ending of the accident ,impact or threat.
Many people, including myself have experienced time in slow motion. On the other hand, there are cases where you would expect it to be mentioned, but nothing is said about it.
The sensing of time and the perception of how fast it goes is an area that has not been studied very much. In fact, time itself is difficult to study. Some theories say that time is the 4th dimension (maybe crazy,but who knows?).
It is well known that time seems to go faster when a person is having fun or when the person gets older. This could be explained by the fact that the person is not paying that much attention to time. Likewise, during an accident, the person's concentration on what is unfolding is great, thus making the perception of time slow down.
The most plausible explanation would be that the "slowing down of time" is caused by something like the adrenaline in your body suddenly rushing to help you try to control your fall.But in fact,I really think only the perception is altered.Present explanations are not completely satisfying.And yes,that's Jason Statham in Crank (2006).
