    Is this supposed to make me believe in God? As if people who die in a plane crash know more about the universe than me somehow? Does falling really fast instill some ancient forgotten knowledge in you?

      I’ve gone bungie jumping; no revelations, just adrenaline.

      Fallen out of trees; sudden stop hurts like fuck.

      Jumped into water from at least 10m; wet, fun.

      Other drops at various speed and landings. No ancient forgotten knowledge acquired.

      All data I’ve collected personally indicates you do not get revelations at less than a 50m drop.

      Note: not peer reviewed, sample size small, subject survived all falls with no more than minor injuries.

      To me, the logic is similar to "I can PROVE God exists. Look at the way this banana fits in my hand… "
