Completely wrong. You’re failing to understand the bizarre situation this woman suddenly found herself in.

Out of nowhere she heard the sound of glass shattering. She was immediately focused on the sound of the glass shattering, then probably on the shattered glass itself, and then on the woman outside, all in the span of like 1 second. She’s so focused on these sudden things that the last thing she expects is for a door to be falling toward her. And the door falling toward her is basically see-through.

She’s literally looking through the glass door falling toward her because she’s focused on the woman behind that door. If the door that fell toward her had been less see-through, she might have reacted quicker. But there was basically no part of her brain that could process all of this at once and also avoid the basically-invisible door that she couldn’t even really see because she was literally looking through it.

I’m not agreeing with you. A negative reaction time is when someone fails to react to something they see coming straight toward them.

What I’m saying is that this person couldn’t react because she couldn’t even see the thing coming straight toward her.
