That's the funniest thing I've seen in awhile. Only watched it 3 times.

Can someone explain what it is that they threw that bounced off the glass like a ball and knocked them out cold? Anything metal or a brick wouldn't have bounced like that..

Window acted like a trampoline. At a security glass demonstration I was at, you could hit this piece of framed glass with a hammer. I hit it hard and the hammer came back and almost hit me in the face. So that brick could easily have been thrown back by the glass flexing and rebounding.

In the same vein, but, I'd like to think, a whole lot more painful, was watching a clown of a rioter back in Belfast [Northern Ireland] throwing a large and ready-burning petrol bomb at the police line. It hit a nearby lamp-post, and incredibly, bounced back at him without breaking - until it hit him in the face, that is, whereupon his entire upper body was engulfed in flames.
We had a great chortle about the way all his pals ran away from him, leaving him to fry for a while. He was eventually picked up about an hour later and taken to the Royal Victoria hospital where, we were told, he succumbed to his injuries.

"throws the rock and it knocks Chaz completely out", "throws the rock again". This reminds me of the guy throwing a brick at the Mercedes Benz glass. Bounces straight back into his face and down he goes

Personally, I'd vote digital effects editing software. Bad acting and questionable physics.
