I do know someone who had a close call, and he experienced something physical which seemed to defy the explanation of physics. He didn't pray for help or anything -- he didn't have time. It just happened, and it saved his life. Now, notice that I'm not asserting that it defied explanation. All he could report was what he felt, saw, observed, etc. So it was a subjective experience, and maybe there was an angle that from his limited vantage point he couldn't see.. However, I knew him to be honest, and I knew him to be a cautious thinker, not prone to exaggeration or fantasy.
