I find the heart rate peak of 164 surprising for a near-death experience. I am 27 and while working out, I typically hit 170-180 at it's peak.

American heart association website says 200 beats per minute is the average maximum for 20 -30 year old people. I'd assume the heart rate to reach that maximum during such intense situations.

I'm a marketer. So yes, the plug at the end makes me really suspicious about the authenticity of the story.
