Would Driving Through A Glass Pane Actually Hurt Anyone? | MythBusters

MythBusters — S12 E3 "Hollywood Car Crash Clichés" — Aired January 18, 2014 Adam and Jamie attacked two of Hollywood's most beloved car chase staples back to back, first driving into three different types of glass pane held by human analogues at 30 miles per hour to find out whether the workers walking it across a road would actually walk away unharmed, discovering that plate glass slashed only one figure, laminated glass crumpled without injury, but tempered glass shattered into tiny pieces that caused multiple puncture wounds to both analogues, making the myth more complicated than the movies ever suggest, and then welding a massive steel bumper to the front of their dump truck The Beast, setting up ten cars in two rows, driving into them at 40 miles per hour, watching The Beast stop halfway through, and then building a semi-conical steel plow instead, setting up sixteen cars, and driving through at 40 miles per hour again to find out what it actually takes to replicate one of action cinema's most iconic images.
