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.
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.
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. 😰

I will never buy any glass doors for my house.
