That's how Garry Hoy died:

In an attempt to prove to a group of prospective articling students that the building's glass windows were unbreakableβ€”a stunt he had performed without incident many times beforeβ€”he threw his body against the glass. True to Hoy's assertion, the window did not break; instead, the entire window yielded whole, popping out of its frame, and Hoy fell to his death.

    Is this that Chinese factory / apartment block anti-suicide netting we keep hearing about?
