SAUDI ARABIA (WLS) -- Timing is everything. In Saudi Arabia, a man was knocked to the ground by a falling pane of glass as he walked down the street.

He was struck on his back, but not injured. He's shown in surveillance video getting up and walking off- unfazed by the incident.
Just moments before the glass fell, the same man stops to see if something is stuck to his shoe. Those few seconds may have saved his life. Had he been just inches to the right, he probably would not have survived the impact of the windowpane, which exploded when it hit the ground.
