Yeah but we’re all seconds from being killed every single day. He had enough time between being in that spot and the blade arriving that he was able to saunter quite casually into the shop and probably make it several meters inside. In the grand scheme of things that’s an eternity.
Put another way, considering all of the other places in the world he could’ve been stood at the moment of impact (and indeed was), he’d have been extremely unlucky to have been hit by it. It’s like saying I almost won the lottery jackpot because I matched 3 numbers.
Sorry, I’m not attacking you. It’s an interesting video, and I’m not saying you shouldn’t have posted it. I’m just annoyed by the BBC’s clickbaity, hyperbolic headline.

Meh this is a very unique situation.
Sure, if you stand in traffic you’ll be hit, but it’s normal to cross at the crossing time then be out of the road.
Walking into a shop such that you narrowly miss being defooted by a saw blade is certainly orders if magnitude more rare
