I wish they did this right now. Breaking through bulletproof glass is easy with the right tools. A flying dropkick is not one of them.

    The gimmick was you couldn't do it with tools.

    The images are made to look like CCTV footage of a bus stop, but there is zero chance they left that much money in there unprotected. You could just ram it with a car and haul it home. Either it's fake money or it was only there for a day with a crew for filming.

    There was a contracted security guard there at all times, a rule that you couldn't use any tools, and they called it off after a day when the bus stop frame started to weaken. Only $500 of real money was placed on top of a bunch of fake money.

    Define tools. Does a .50bmg SLAP count? Because there's no way that glass is rated to take anti-mat rounds.

    Of course you can't do it without tools, I wouldn't want to break a regular window without tools, get my hand all cut up again and shit (last time was an accident). "No tools" makes the contest meaningless.

    Yeah - without tools would be impossible.

    That being said, for that kind of cash, I'd accept getting my hand cut up and shit.

    You couldn't as you weren't allowed to. It was a bad marketing campaign because people think "omg why it's so easy".

    I think they limited you to only being able to kick it

    What is the point then. I'd be pissed if someone was able to break a regular window by kicking it. If you have to prove that your bullet proof glass can stand up to kicks I'm not going to be confident in your product. Let people bring their own shit and show what it would take to get through it. You know, unless it sucks, which I assume to be the actual case here.

    Proving the strenght of the glass is only their secondary goal. Their primary goal is marketing, getting their name out there, and having people talk about their brand.

    And hey, they sure succeeded, as I've seen this exact image way too f-ing often.

    Go kick a window in your house right now. If you don't live in a highrise, you can almost certainly kick it out.

    Please don't. Chances are high that the window is not made of security glass and if you kick the glass in, you'll get serious cuts in your leg. That'll range from a flesh wound to life threatening damage in a blood vessel.
