I imagine it would feel very similar to suddenly discovering the very clean (and luckily strong) sliding glass door between me and the patio was actually at that moment closed.

My sister once did that with a screen door, somehow. She was carrying a plate of spaghetti, it was Not Good.

I opened a copy of Gunn's "The Listeners" that I had been given (as a pile of donations to the SF lending library I run) to discover that inside the dust cover was in fact, "Chariot of the Gods." I'm still not over that.
