It depends on what you mean by "breaking".
They don't have safety guidelines like a bumper or frame. They can be cracked by something as small as a rock chip or even hail. For a windshield to completely shatter, however, it takes a great deal of impact. I have never seen anybody able to break a front windshield with a bat/brick/foot. It typically takes a pretty severe collision (often times a rollover) to shatter a windshield.
