CALGARY, Alberta (UPI) -- A Calgary, Alberta, woman is crediting beer falling on her head at a hockey game with saving her from being crushed by a falling man.
Glennis Bradshaw, 46, was watching a game at the Calgary SaddleDome between the Calgary Flames and Vancouver Canucks Saturday night when beer splashing onto her head caused to sit back quickly and look up just a man fell onto her lap from 20 feet above, the Calgary Sun reported.
Police said two men carrying beer on an upper level slipped, and toppled over a railing.
Bradshaw said if the beer hadn't caused her to jump and lean back, the man would have landed on her head, and "we'd be talking about something completely different."
One man fell two rows ahead of Bradshaw, and got up unscathed, but the man who fell on her lap broke his ankle on a seat back and was knocked unconscious briefly.
Bradshaw sustained a deep bruise to her thigh, but told the newspaper she's not planning any lawsuits, as "it's not often young men fall in my lap.
"Thing is, normally I'd like them conscious," she said.
