An Unusual Aviation Question

This may seem like a strange question to ask but it is something I have
always wondered. I am hoping that someone can enlighten me. :-)

When flying an aircraft at crusing speed and altitude, the pilot's front
windshield (window) is broken. Would the pilot get

a) sucked out the window due to the pressure variation, or

b) get pressed back in his seat due to the rush of air coming in through the
window ? (remember the window is facing forward, unlike a passenger window)

Hopefully this is not quite as silly a question as it may seem.

Thanks
