IIHS: Small Cars Making Strides in Safety

DUDE!!! what's with the shards of glass flying everywhere upon impact? i thought nowadays windows would be shatter-proof so we wouldn't be sprayed with glass fragments! yikes!

The broken glass has rounded edges for the most part. You wouldn't get cut up that badly.

@arequipa1 All glass shatters. Car glass is "tempered" so it breaks into little squares, instead of shards. Yes, the squares are still sharp, but they are 100-times less sharp than the little square pieces of glass.
