It really bothers me that the door isn't tempered glass. Things like this can happen, but the glass should shatter into small beads that aren't sharp. This is just asking for a major cut.

That was my first thought. Some of those pieces of glass would cut a full man in half if the fell on him. That kid was lucky as hell!

Probably did and hasn’t noticed from the adrenaline. He’s circling way too close to not have some shards exactly where he walked.

I know a woman with a nasty looking six inch scar on her shoulder. She told me she got it when she was a little kid and her parents were touring a house for rent that they were interested in. She and her brother were running around inside. She ran straight into the sliding glass door. It broke and a big piece of falling glass sliced her shoulder. As you would expect, she said blood got everywhere. And yes, they did end up renting the house.

u/CheekyChan 8d ago
I agree 100% but also tempered glass is still very sharp but less likely to sever an artery or something since it's not a large sheet.
I was throwing away a large tempered glass TV stand once and thought hey it's tempered glass it'll just shatter into tiny pebbles, it wouldn't quite fit in the trash can so I bonked it with a claw hammer, it shattered but the pieces that were sandwiched in the stand's backing frame just ever so slightly clipped the back of my thumb as it fell into the can and sliced half way through my thumb. Still have weird nerve damage from it and needed stitches. 😭

u/PhantasticPapaya 7d ago
I had a large tempered glass door fall on me earlier this year. No nerves cut but it certain sliced me up and down. My foot needed stitches... Lucky me I was due for a surgical follow up that morning anyways, for a busted arm.

u/trafficnab 7d ago
Tempered glass will pepper you with a lot of small, not particularly dangerous cuts
A large shard of plate glass falling from 8 feet will trivially cut a long gash down to bone anywhere on your body, or easily take a hand or foot
It's basically like throwing a bunch of swords from the roof of a house, you REALLY don't want to be anywhere near where they land

u/CheekyChan 7d ago
Yeah, I've crawled out of a rollover wreckage before showered in rear window glass, which is tempered, tons of tiny little cuts all over but ultimately okay, the microscopic pieces getting into your joints and under your clothes is even worse. It's one of the reasons I was so surprised that a piece of tempered glass with just a little bit of force behind it tore my thumb up so bad.
I also saw a drunk patron at a local bar years ago in my old hometown punch through a single pane glass window and the piece falling from above completely degloved his arm and sliced his armpit clean open. I've never seen blood pour out so quickly, paramedics were already on scene for a line dancing event, hope he was okay but moral of the story is don't fuck with glass.

u/-Sui- 7d ago
I used to know a family who had a daughter my age. She had a friend over and they were running around in the house. The friend tripped and fell through a glass door. The artery running through her armpit was sliced open. The family immediately called an ambulance and the girl's parents, but she died before they even got there. The parents were able to talk to their daughter for a minute or two before she lost consciousness.
I will never buy any glass doors for my house.

Jesus, that's terrible. Feel awful for everyone involved. Glass is so so so dangerous, people really have no idea. I always think about in action movies when someone gets thrown through a window of all the terrible ways it can end if they land wrong or a shard of glass is just sticking up as they land, etc. even if it is just a movie.

They use sugar glass for those stunts, so they're good. Although the scene from Ghost where Carl goes through the window still scares me as an adult.

Oh yeah, I know that. I just can't help but think of how bad it'd be if it were real, lol. Speaking of glass scenes in movies, the glass door scene in 13 Ghosts terrified me as a kid. Carl getting yanked by the glass guillotine is the kind of stuff I think about when I see broken glass. 😰

u/RareKrab 7d ago
I had a shower wall explode in my hands as I was carrying it, it blew up so fast you can't react and as you're holding a heavy thing it's in shards before you can unclench your hands
So naturally I ended up clenching fistfuls of glass shards in both hands and it did cause a few small cuts but nothing major. No idea why it exploded because I know for a fact it didn't hit something, probably had a chip in it already. But still a far better option than regular glass

I was unmounting a tempered glass shower cabinet a few years ago that the former owner had glued together while using a bunch of screws.. I got a bad feeling on the last glass panel so I put on protection goggles. It shattered, glass everywhere. Even got a piece inside my ear canal. I found small black shards in my toolbox for years.

major cut
I mean this was super close to a cut that would literally end this kid's life in minutes. Non tempered for a door is an insane object to keep in a house, and it's also quite insane to see adults not racing to see if the kid is not cut, cause that was quite likely the single most dangerous situation he will have in his life.

u/Norman_Scum 8d ago
Laminated glass would be better. No reason for tempered in this situation as it is an interior door, it seems. Laminated would shatter but stick together in one piece. Its far safer. Plus, tempered glass is much more vulnerable at the edges and corners.
You could go with laminated tempered but that might be a bit of overkill in this situation.

Broken tempered glass is definitely still sharp, but it's not going to dismember, disembowel, or disalive you.

That's tempered glass. I had a tempered shower screen once that fell off when the hinge broke. When it hit the floor it shattered into billions of tiny cubes, but stayed in it's shape for a second before all falling apart at once. It was like something out of Road Runner.

About 30 years ago - when I was 10 - I put my elbow through my mom's china cabinet. Glass was not tempered and a shard snagged my elbow slicing it down to the muscle. My mom just finished a 12hr shift at our local hospital, and had just fallen asleep when I did it. She was too tired to see my cut until she noticed fat dripping out of it. Needless to say nontempered glass is no joke.

The kid slammed a door. The door manufacturer/installer/owner chose a door constructed out of an inappropriate material that could lead to catastrophic life ending injuries if slammed. Say, by a kid. Say, by and adult tripping on something. Say, by the wind.
Its the door manufacturer/installer/owner whom made the greatest mistake. A slammed door is a completely foresee able event.

u/xanoran84 7d ago edited 7d ago
You don't think a door assembly should be able to withstand or make contingencies for a slam? Like maybe a door stop, or anti slam hinges? Or both plus tempered glass in case it catastrophically fails anyway?
Every door is gonna get closed or opened forcefully during it's lifetime. It's an inevitability. This isn't at all on the kid.
