    And nobody thought to install some glass breakers on the bottom of their boots?

    Edit: Hell, I’d even consider wedging a nice sharp piece of quartz into the tread of a boot.

      Bullet proof glass is plexiglass/polycarbonate, so I don’t think a glass breaker would help.

          Oddly enough having lots of spikes hurts your chances by spreading the force over more area. You’d really just want a single small spike.

          It’s like an inch thick plastic, so I doubt that would help. I think that’s what they make the overlook sky balconys out of, so it’s pretty resilient. Maybe you could whittle away at it with metal cleats over time? But I think they would probably kick you out first.

          Hmm, bullet proof glass is plexi/polycarb, so I wonder why they’re advertising it as such.

            I don’t think they were advertising it that way, the label in the picture says security glass. The reddit post is just poorly titled.
