If he was another inch to his right, things could have gone much differently.

A surveillance video posted on LiveLeak Sunday shows the world's most cool-headed man somehow calmly walking away after a giant pane of glass falls off the side of a building in Saudi Arabia and almost lands directly on his noggin. The force of the falling glass knocks the man to the ground, but he quickly stands up, unharmed, and wanders off in a slow, "what the shit was that" daze. A timestamp on the video says it was recorded on August 18.

The pane skimmed the man's head so close that it ripped off his keffiyeh and sent it flying, but if it had dropped a few inches to the right it would have sliced his face off like that ninja bodyguard in Equilibrium. Watch the clip above.
