That sounds like a much better prognosis than my fearful guess!

We once attended a brunch where a similar thing happened to the carving 
chef.  Apparently standing still for long periods of time can sometimes 
cause "pooling" of blood in the lower part of the body, which reduces 
blood pressure to the brain and causes a fainting spell.  He dropped 
like a stone, narrowly missing his own carving knife. We learned later 
that this sort of thing happens occasionally to soldiers who are asked 
to stand motionless for long periods of time....
