The 'safety glass' is merely a sandwich of two pieces of glass laminated together with a sheet of plastic. In the event of breaking, it is held in place by an interlayer, typically of polyvinyl butyral, or ethylene-vinyl acetate, between its two layers of glass. It will spider but not shatter apart, in most situations.
