Lol, well I guess I'd be safe then.

When I was in high school, I came home to a locked house (my youngest brother was supposed to have unlocked the door when he'd gotten home, but he'd come and gone and the door was still locked). I really really had to use the little girl's room, and I had no idea that my brother was no longer home so I knocked on the window of the back door. Thinking he was upstairs and that he hadn't heard me, I knocked harder (meanwhile my other brother had gone around front to investigate). Well, it turns out I knocked too hard because the glass shattered and my first suprised thought was "Well, I guess this is where I reach around and unlock the door," followed by "Oh my, my hand is bleeding." I took an essay test the next day for English..owwwwww. I still have a scar or two from that.

The next year I shattered a window trying to open it. it just wouldn't budge, and it soon bacame a matter of the irresistable force vs the immovable object. The window lost.

Ouch. I got a permanent scar from glass too, except it's in my leg. I cleaned up some broken glass, put it in a plastic bag and somone bumped into me, bag got whipped against my leg and all of the sudden there was blood everywhere :)

Oh that's nothing, there was the time I got some beautiful hand crafted glass bottles for my birthday (this was last year), and I managed to drop them on my bare feet, shattering the glass and cutting my feet.

When I was a kid I stepped on glass, boy did that bleed.

And I've lost count of how many dishes I've broken.
