Glass Injuries
Causes of Glass Injuries
Most accidents with glass are due to:
- Failure to see the glass
- Slips and falls - knowing the glass is there
- Intentional breakage
When a person accidently impacts glass there are two immediate dangers:
Falling through the Glass
The first is from deep cuts due to large shards that slice into the hands, wrists, arms and body.
Unfortunately, there have been deaths from injuries such as a severed femoral artery.
Rebounding from the Glass
The second danger is from the 'rebound' affect. When someone bumps into a large glass pane, the impact causes the glass to break and for the person to be thrown back.
During the rebound, the person is falling away from the sharp edges of the glass, and the result can be deep cuts which tear off large flaps of skin.
Wired glass is horrific because the wires are like razor blades. Too many accidents continue to happen.
The news clip on wired glass is a 'must watch'. Make sure you have the volume up.
Safety window film will eliminate the problem at little expense.
