A friend of mine saved a few bucks by replacing the broken tempered
glass in his patio table with 1/4 plate glass.

He spent a lot more bucks stitching up his wifes legs when he dropped a
pitcher of iced tea on the table.

Should have used 1/2" plate glass... Or maybe 1" (13.5 lbs/sq-ft)...

Why, would that amputate the legs completely?

I could usually give a s___ about this safety stuff but this
seems like one of those times you should care.
