A crowd of bystanders gathered on Saturday to watch the demolition of the deserted OP Prostejov clothing factory in the Czech Republic. As you can see, they might have been standing a bit too close, as an errant chunk of rock sailed past multiple people in the crowd — narrowly missing one man’s head.

From that angle, the bald guy — along with a couple other people — appears to have avoided certain death from a sizable chunk of concrete. However, a second video from a slightly different angle seems to confirm that the rock wasn’t very big. In addition, nobody seemed really fazed by the fact a rock just flew past them. Still, any piece of debris heading your way at that speed is probably going to leave a mark. Maybe not a decapitation, but you’ll definitely feel it. Just ask the guy who said “OW!”
