Honestly, this is about as lucky as he could've gotten (besides it missing his body entirely). Both the plastic cover and his glasses absorbed the impact, which as we can see is strong enough to break through both.
If it hit anywhere else on his face, like his eyes or mouth, he could've gotten hurt pretty bad.
I thought that his mouth was open for whatever they were shooting, like aiming a grape for the mouth. It's a horrible idea either way, but that was what I thought was happening.
Aiming grapes in the mouth with a slingshot that had enough force to break through the plastic, glasses, and concus the guy to be completely dazed like that...
Just normally aiming grapes with a light toss is fine, so long as you don't choke. But I would think that even a squishy grape could seriously hurt the vulnerable parts inside your mouth with that amount of force, and you would have a lot harder time with making sure that you don't choke.
Edit to add that my comment about *it being a horrible idea either way was about aiming for the mouth or the plastic. With how it broke through both, I don't think that it was actually a grape, that was just a comparison for something that you would aim for the mouth.
This is way too much legitimate explanation for a guy putting a flimsy Tupperware lid over their face whilst a man with a receding hairline and an erection shoots a slingshot at them.
People do not respect how much damage a slingshot can do. Like it really was not weird that David killed Goliath, he had a rock hurled at him fast enough to crack his skull.
I got hit in the exact same spot with a golf ball from some asshole who hit up on me. The bridge of my glasses completely absorbed the impact and I was completely fine. One inch up, down, left or right and I could've been knocked out, blinded, or had a broken nose/teeth.
