Structural fatigue means that someday, all of that previous jumping will do enough cumulative damage to weaken the glass frame.
I have no interest in being the straw that breaks that particular camels back, as remote a possibility as it may be.
Fun fact: the same argument applies to opaque floors
True, but they are usually not just a single layer of a fragile material like glass.
I think they usually use several layers of thick glass for these floors, so even if you dropped a coffee mug on the glass and it broke, there should be several more layers under it that should still be plenty strong to support your weight. Also I don't think glass experiences bending stress the same way metal does, where it gets most of its damage from impact fractures. Meaning you can bend glass a lot and it won't change, but if you introduce micro fractures it can weaken considerably. So an engineer would probably consider the first sheet of glass as sacrificial.
Been a long time since I read about this stuff though, would love input from someone better read.
I wouldn't be scared to stand on it, or even jump on it. But what is there even to gain?
