Does that mean the accident didn't happen? Of course not. The same is true for NDEs. Thousands of people throughout the world have had NDEs and they did happen. Much like the accident people who have NDEs have different perspectives of what happened. However there is enough correlating evidence to prove that NDEs do happen. There is also evidence that the spirit leaves the body when a person dies.
But the accident isn't necessarily an example of a supernatural event, and neither are the experiences of NDE necessarily examples of a supernatural event. You still need to provide the evidence that NDEs are due to supernatural phenomena. I've yet to see this evidence that clearly points to such things and is not easily accounted for by naturalistic explanations.
