Maybe your life wasn't remarkable enough to be worth replaying. That's what I expect for myself, at least. :)

My life was actually full of crazy events. I ended up moving all over the globe. Did extreme sports. And other much more dangerous stuff.

Well that’s a depressing comment

American humor vs British humor? Just a wild guess ofc.

And/or taking a joke about people in general personal even though the resp. person is just the vehicle for the joke and not the aim?

I found that funny. Probably because I deem my own life anything but remarkable.

Yeah. That was an unusual comment.

I concur. I had an almost-sudden death involving a train (saved by a fast-acting crowd) and I was surprised at how I wasn't frightened, more 'so this is how I die'. Not until I was safe did I panic.

Sounds like you were in shock

I had a similar thing happen to me when an elevator I was in started to fall (it had emergency brakes but I didn't know that). I wouldn't describe it as shock, but almost as indifference. I thought "huh, so this is how it happens".

I think it tends to happen when you are really 'that close' and or, you're kind of 'awake' when it's happening, and more likely in moments of acute trauma like car accidents etc..

Maybe you weren’t close enough to death?

It could also just be that people are different and these experiences reflect more how people deal with intense stress.
