I’ve had a near death experience (or so I thought). This week I am helping out at the Mercer Museum with their Lego Robotics camp. I was opening one of those power function bags for a kid. Not the ones that bricks come in, but the stretchier kinds. Lego owning opponaughts can relate. For the rest of you Like this:
I was pulling it apart with one hand away, and one hand pulling towards me. It snapped open quick than I anticipated therefore flinging my hand into my abdominal region. The actual impact didn’t actually hurt that bad nor was it that forceful. But it was enough to cause some kind of reaction. Soon after I started feeling different. It progressed to the point where I was light headed, weak feeling and I couldn’t really see. I was on the edge of passing out basically. In my head I was thinking, “I’m going to pass out and die.” The instructor told me to sit down. I instantly started to feel better. I called my parents, my dad picked me up and now I’m at home. Everything seems to be okay now, just feeling tight in the abs and slight headache.

Solar plexus hits can, I think, have that result as well as just diaphragm lockup.

Yeah, the hit was right in that region as well. My Dad suggested this as well.

One of the few times I have had a really serious solar plexus hit I got most of the way into blacking out before getting better. Rough stuff.

that’d be some manual manipulation of the autonomic nervous system right there. kind of like hitting your funny bone.

Yes! But much more extreme than hitting your funny bone.

Yeah, if he hadn’t told me to go sit down I probably would have passed out.

sure! i guess i meant that we’re all much more familiar with a funny bone hit, and the sensation it gives down the arm. a punch (even if self inflicted) to the nerve bundles in the abdomen can affect the autonomic nervous system—the involuntary stuff controlling excitation or general relaxation. and that’s something we don’t experience as often as the tactile effect of a funny bone hit.

You’re going to need to invest in some scissors. For heaven’s sake, don’t run with them, though. You’ve been through enough.

There were scissors somewhere in the room, but I just didn’t want to take the effort to go find them. Lesson learned!!
