Nope, It was similar enough to make me think it was at first, but it was quite different... not had it before or since (crosses fingers)

No idea It has loads of weird physical side-effects though, especially in large doses.

I had something similar during my head-on collision with a car. When I landed, I had a metallic taste in my mouth and at the time I assumed I had bit my tongue or something but never did find anything.

I've had it too! When I was knocked off when I was 16!

There was plenty of blood about,none in my mouth!

Blood tastes of iron,as thats whats in it.

I think it may be something to do with the natural drugs/chemicals your brain emits when something bad/good is about to happen.

Just like everything slows down in accident situations.

When I had my big one,I remember everything happening so slowly,but thinking at normal speed,and saying to myself,
"Oh no! Not again!"

Then it was Earth-sky-earth-sky-Ambulance.

The reason for the "not again" was the week before,I came off going over a roundabout too fast,not knowing diesel was there,it was dark,I thought at the time,
"don't scratch your crash-helmet", It was/is a Scott Russel rep,I didnt scratch it then,but I sure did on the next crash!
