Man pronounced dead with 'parts of brain on floor' after common mistake on lads' holiday shares first memory of incident

Adam Elnekaveh recalled his first memory following a horrific motorcycle crash in Thailand with no helmet

A man that was pronounced dead after a horror accident on a lads' holiday has recalled the first memory he had of the ordeal.

Adam Elnekaveh was left with severe injuries after a motorocycle accident while on a holiday to Thailand back in 2018, which left him in a coma.

The situation was so serious in fact, that doctors claimed that he might 'never wake up', but against all the odds, the American fitness influencer pushed through.

Now 34, Adam was celebrating the launch of his new health app when he was on the motorbike ride, during which he removed his helmet.

While he would later recall the moment where everything went wrong, he has also reflected on his horrifying first thoughts after waking up.

Just ten days after falling into the coma, he would open his eyes to the shocking sight of his parents, who made the journey from the US to the southeast Asian nation.

He explained in an interview with The Sun: "The first thing I remember was seeing people from the hospital in my apartment to check up on me,

"They had been sent to see if it was still possible for me to stay at home without being in the hospital," he remembered.

Describing how his parents were when he regained consciousness, he said 'they were very stunned and discombobulated'.

"The doctors could not believe their eyes," Adam admitted, adding: "They ended up apologising to my parents because they were sending them hospice paperwork, saying there was no way I would ever move again."

After getting pulled over and fined by police for not wearing helmets while on the bikes, he made the 'stubborn' decision of removing his helmet once again, which would alter the rest of his life.

Adam recalled: "After a while, my best friend stopped his motorcycle and said there was a problem with it and it didn’t feel right,

"As I was a seasoned motorcyclist, I told him to give me his bike as he didn’t know what he was doing. It felt good. I went fast to tease my friend in an egotistical way.

"In the end, we don’t know what happened - whether I slipped or something hit me. But the bike gave out and I fell off."

The result was his head smashing into the ground, which cracked his skull and left his brain 'exposed', while spilled oil from the motorcycle went 'into his brain'.

Now, Adam revealed that 15 percent of his skull is 'made of plastic', with many medics not giving him much of a chance following the operation.

The former bodybuilder has since revealed that he was told he'd be 'paralysed' for life, while his best mate had told loved ones that he could 'see parts of his brain lying on the floor'.

Suffering from some serious injuries and memory loss, months of rehabilitation followed as he had to relearn to walk.

"I can use my fingers, I can move my toes, but it’s tough to bend my knee, and it’s tough to completely move my left arm," he admitted.

Adam also says that he feels 'so much guilt' for removing his helmet on purpose, adding: "Eventually, the guilt settles, but right now, everything feels like a dream. My biggest hardship now is carrying my body around because half of my body is very heavy and tired."

Following his recovery journey, he has been writing a book titled Rebuilding Adam: The Tragedy regarding his ordeal, and urges families with loved ones in comas to keep believing.
