I don't believe it would, but I don't know. I think the first thing that would flash in your mind would be OMG, WTF is going on here? Am I dying? How do I know? Do I hurt..hmm. Where am I? What just happened? Then survival mode would kick in.
I think you'd become over rational in trying to figure out what is going on with your body and the circumstances.
I was in a few close calls.

That's a misconception, those people ceased to have heart or lung functions for a while.
"Historically, attempts to define the exact moment of death have been problematic. Death was once defined as the cessation of heartbeat (cardiac arrest) and of breathing, but the development of CPR and prompt defibrillation have rendered that definition inadequate because breathing and heartbeat can sometimes be restarted. This is now called "clinical death". Events which were causally linked to death in the past no longer kill in all circumstances; without a functioning heart or lungs, life can sometimes be sustained with a combination of life support devices, organ transplants and artificial pacemakers."
Bardock42 is a whimpering pussy now who lost his flare to debate vigorously and just spouts senseless and thinly veiled puns here and there. You nazi pr*ck. Get your balls back from whoever you sold them to, you fat f*ck. What happened to the manly, chubby German big mouth we once knew, who'd flatten ignorance with a solid argument? Now it's like Andy Dick meets John Candy. You hybrid beefcake. Suck my c*ck

I find it hard to believe that if in the case of someone being shot in the back of the head with a bazooka and not realizing it, that there would be anything left for their life to flash in front of, or any time for it to do so . I guess that if it does, or doesn't it really depends on how you die.
Pretty sure though that now it's defined as the absence of brain activity, no? We were discussing this at uni a few weeks back in fact. No one had a straight and definite answer though.

Wow, this was a mighty deep subject. It makes me wonder, how about animals? Would their lives pass before their eyes? Do they have a memory to hold stuff?
adernaline. the senses go into overload and the juices in the brain go haywire because the adernaline pumps like crazy. it makes sense because adernaline is the body's defense mechanism so you can imagine what "oh my god i'm going to die!!" does to adernal glands.
Yes it does, I had it happen to me during an attack by someone with a 12" bayonet and for a few seconds before I knew I was going to die I had a dream like experience that started with me seeing myself at about 3 years old and my mother in my backyard walking across the lawn. BUT I was seeing myself at that age with her from above about 20 feet away. Like watching a movie of my life and then it went to another and another and kept going of main event in my life but always with me seeing them as out of my body until the last one where I saw my wife laying on our bed at home from above the room as she watched tv. After I fought with this person and stayed alive (long story) I came home and saw her on the bed still with the clothes I saw her wearing and ask what she was doing all night and she said laying on the bed watching tv.I said I know and told here what happened to me.
No one can really explain how I saw myself from above when when I have never seen myself or a photo of my mother and I in the yard like that before.
