This just might be the luckiest guy on the planet. 

A clip posted on LiveLeak shows a man in Saudi Arabia caught on surveillance camera walking on a sidewalk when a pane of glass suddenly falls from a building. 

It hits the man across the back, knocks off his keffiyeh and sends him to the ground. However, there doesn't seem to be any harm done as the man gets up and wanders off, perhaps with a new appreciation for life. 

Several seconds before the sheet of glass falls, the man stops to see if he has something stuck to his shoe. Had he paused just a moment longer, the outcome might have been quite different.
