Near-death experience as training aid
A FORMER Royal Navy officer will use the “white tunnel experience” of his close scrape with death to inspire health and safety professionals and business leaders next month. Phil Olley, 47, collapsed with anaphylactic shock in 1999 and stopped breathing.
According to Mr Olley, a veteran of tours to the Falklands and Gulf, he saw the “oft-reported tunnel and bright light”.
But as paramedics battled to save his life, it was not past events that flashed before him. According to Mr Olley, it was those ambitions that remained unfulfilled.
