Thanks for the advice on breaking different kinds of glass windows, trooper366. Good stuff to keep in mind.

Reminds me of an episode of MythBusters on the Discovery Channel where they tested the myth of someone jumping through a plate glass window to make a quick escape unharmed.

They threw their trusty crash test dummy through the thicker plate glass typically used in store fronts (as opposed to the thinner glass found in household windows) and they determined that the dummy suffered life threating lacerations from the glass fragments. The worst one was through the carotid or jugular in the neck, if I remember correctly. Ouch! <img src="/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" />

In the movies, sometimes you see the guy throwing the chair through the window first and then jumping out the window. Seems like a better way to escape. <img src="/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Now, if I could only make some time in my schedule to practice jumping off an overpass and onto the top of a passing truck... <img src="/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
