Glass, the Weakest link in a Blast…
Unfortunately, we live in a world where bomb blast is a real danger to our safety and security. A bomb blast turns unprotected glass into dangerous flying shards.
Lacerations due to high velocity flying glass fragments have been responsible for a significant portion of the injuries received in explosion incidents.

During a blast, glazing will break causing serious injuries. Blast pressures can carry broken glass at speeds in excess of 100 feet per second (68 MPH).
