I had what I presume was a blood pressure/brain starvation issue a couple months ago. I actually passed out 4 real, whilst hanging from a pullup bar doing spinal decompression. The apparatus around me kept me in a standing position so no one noticed and I was saved the embarassment. But it actually felt like I died and took me ages to get my bearings. Very unpleasant.
