One type is tempered glass, which is glass that has been cooled very quickly and has great internal pressure. This pressure makes it extremely strong, but if it breaks, it explodes into harmless .5"x.5"x.5" cubes.
Three-layer glass is another fairly strong glass used in windshields. It is essentially a layer of clear plastic sandwiched between two layers of normal glass. When/if the glass breaks, it shatters normally (long, pointy, deathly shards), but is held in place by the plastic.
Prince Rupert's Drops are also an extremely strong type of glass, but with a weak point. They are formed by dropping glass into water, and as such the outside cools faster than the inside, again causing great internal pressure. They are shaped like teardrops, with long, brittle tails. If the tail is broken off, the pressure inside the drop is released and they explode. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prince_Rupert%27s_Drop)
