At least there's no wondering if your camping partner is home or not...

You would be shocked how tough tempered glass sliders are. I remember prying and distorting tempered glass panels while removing obsolete patio doors out in Coronado Cays, San Diego after the original raw aluminum sills had erupted due to salt/chemical reactions with concrete slabs. I would cringe, thinking they would explode, but what the hey? I was demo-ing the d*mn things! But they never did blow up. Ultimately I pried them out and replaced them with better technology (dual-pane glazing, with anodized aluminum frame over onsite applied epoxy-coated sills). Lesson Learned: Tempered Glass if very tough, until it isn't. I've also known friends who's tempered glass shower enclosure blew up in the middle of the night, apparently due to inherent faultiness. :blink:

A well placed rock spit out of a riding lawn mower at passing by at 40 feet takes down a tempered glass sliding door pretty fast I found :-)

So does a nail head being shot off the end of your skil saw as you cut flooring. Ouch!
