RE: perception of time
From my (vague) understanding of it, it is caused by the adrenaline in your body, which helps to speed you up. Also you brain shifts all its attention to the situation at hand, allowing you to make split-second decisions. So I would say it's a mixture of chemicals being released, and your mind working to send the electrical signals out at top speed to control your body as needed.
It is a very odd feeling, definitely. I was in a pretty bad motorcycle accident last fall (I walked away, messed up my tailbone and possibly caused some slight nerve damage in my back, but the motorcycles trashed), and I remember very vividly during one of the flips (it was going end over end), I was looking straight up at one of the prettiest blues skies I have ever seen, and out the sides of my eyes I could see the green trees rising up from around the trail, but the peacefulness was broke by seeing the bike upside down over me. Scarey, but it's cool how your mind can capture so much detail about a fraction of a second like that.
