I had a 10m grounder when 2 (maybe 3?) bits of gear ripped at Nowra. I had a massive sensory overload and it didn't feel like slow motion, but I had enough time to think "this cam better catch me" pop "shit, this next bit better work" pop "nup, I'm going to die." I blacked out at this stage (still falling). I didn't get the life flashing before my eyes thing, I just had a felling of being ripped off because there was still more things I wanted to do with life. Turned out that I walked away (after a 5 days in hospital) with nothing permanent so I was pretty farkin lucky. The moral, don't climb trad at sports crags.
