This brings up the topic of how you can make people pass out and get a "high" from oxygen deprivation. Now I am sure all of you have heard of the technique where you put your back to a wall and bend over and breathe very fast and pretty heavily until you start hyperventilating and can hardly breathe. Well, after about twenty seconds or so of doing that, you stand up straight and cross your arms over your chest. While standing up you take a huge deep breath and hold it. Then you get one or two friends to PRESS HARD on your chest and it makes you completely pass out for 5-15 seconds.

Well, I had heard of this a long time ago and had attempted it about twice. Both times did not work. So the friends I was with knew how to do it right and I agreed to let them do it to me as I was curious of what it was like.

One thing. It was hit me harder than I would have expected it...

I stood up and crossed my arms and as my friends started crushing my chest I was watching their eyes and the last thing I remember is saying to myself in my mind, "this isn't going to work". (I should also note that I was listening to a VERY fast paced trance hardcore song). Next thing I knew I was in complete darkness. I cannot remember everything I saw but I remember getting very scared. I remember something about my mom and then thats it. It felt like I had a five hour dream in about 5 seconds. Next thing I know I am staring at the sky and a SHARP pain is torturing me in my foot. At the same time I was completely numb though. I quickly started coming down and regaining my sences when I realize my left elbow was bleeding blood all down my arm and I fall to the ground because I was extremely dizzy. I remained on the ground for about 5 minutes before being able to get up.

Apparently, I am told that when I lost conciousness my eyes instantly rolled into the back of my head and got extremely red. Next my friends said my arms started twitching. I had asked them to hold me up if I started to fall but they said I was shaking so bad I would have hit them. So they let go of me and I cut my elbow open on the wall and land on my foot sideways. (this is all when I was asleep).

This experience was one of the most fun and frightening experiences I had had. I do not know why but I was just completely overwhelmed with fear while I was unconcious. It was tripping me out, I couldn't stop thinking about what had happened for a couple hours.
