A long, long time ago a kid named Kemper Hoffman, age 11, a pastors son, ran into a closed sliding double door.
That door's glass shattered, Kemper ended up almost dying with 1,500 stitches to patch him up,
he looked like the cut up doll from the horror flick Chucky.
His sister was my girlfriend at the time, she saw it happen as he was running to dive into their swimming pool.
Had he not been seen he would have bled to death in short order, nothing major was cut but there were so many.
She pulled the table cloth right off the table trashing all the dishes set up and wrapped him tight in it.
That was in 1961, the glass was not tempered, this film technology along with tempering could keep this from happening all together.
I heard of similar cases over the years,
On another note, I investigated cases where a pry bar was used to gain entry by forcing the door right out of the sliding track,
they did not even try to break the glass in any of them.
