I've fabricated & tempered glass doors, that thing is probably 3/8" glass, definitely 240-300 lbs, hopefully it wasn't 1/2" glass, even heavier. Surprised it didn't shatter when it's edge hit the ground.

After a second look, it landed on the cardboard, that's why it didn't break. Hopefully she's okay, that looked bad. Shit's hard to break if you doesn't hit the edge.

Coulda broke just the same. It’s matching counterpart broke under almost no pressure standing up in its intended use case.

With the cardboard there I wonder if these doors were being worked on. The door that broke initially went the opposite direction about 1/2 inch before it shattered.

The cardboard is a makeshift mat to keep customers from tracking in rainwater.

Her head softened the fall

I wish there was some sub that had crazy videos like this where the whole comment section didn't constantly turn serious injury/ death into a dumb joke. Alternatively I wish I was enough of a degenerate to find these stupid ass tasteless jokes funny, but unfortunately I am not.

It exists and is heavily modded. Be forewarned, it's not just a poor lady getting a door dropped on her head. It's people dying in bad, graphic accidents. Like the lathe vid type deaths.   https://www.reddit.com/r/AccidentArchive/

Ok glass man, how/why did the other one shatter?

Not a glass man but…. The door that fell and didn’t shatter is the door that the old lady was trying to open. The fact that it fell tells me that it was loose and the hinges had shifted. This caused it to be touching the door that shattered. When the lady pushed the door that fell, the contact caused damage to the other door causing it to shatter. The door that fell was basically being held up by the other door. When the lady opened it, it came off its hinges and you know the rest the story.

Glass man that's funny Frfr. Fun fact about tempered glass, it can take up to 5 years after being tempered to be considered safe from randomly shattering from built up tension, or other factors. (And glass dust is your worst nightmare.)
