Accidentally, I dropped the glass lid of a large pan on my tile kitchen floor just as I was finishing up the dinner dishes. Oh joy! I got to clean up this pile of broken glass and its pieces that spread out from the point of impact to the next room. I am thinking, could the glass lids of these pans be made in a way to prevent breakage like this? (Well, that was not not my first thought, which was probably oh shit! ) I did some quick research and my lid could have been ‘tempered glass’ which is supposed to break in smaller pebble-like pieces and not so many shards. I have swept, vacuumed, and swiffered up the evidence before taking a photo, but I think the glass did break into smaller pieces and stayed together mostly, except for the pieces that got loose and flew everywhere. I wish they could make a glass lid that is really shatterproof.

Well, they put a man on the moon, so shatterproof glass is not impossible!

One of these days there probably will be. I don’t think humans will be able to be totally drop-proof though, especially this human. 😉

Isn’t windshield glass shatterproof? Maybe they could make them with that.

Really! This is one of those areas technological reasearch needs to be focusing on.

I’m glad there were no injuries. You would think they could do better.

Thank you, Dan. I did take the whole episode pretty calmly and it is good that I didn’t require stitches or have a shard stuck in my foot or someone else’s foot. 🙂
