A glass dropped on a concrete floor is more likely to break than if it was dropped on a wood floor because the concrete has no bend to it. A wood floor might help absorb some of the impact by bending slightly when the glass hit it.

∙ 13y agoThe carpet spreads the impact over both area and time.
Area - on concrete the glass most likely will contact the floor only on one point. The flexibility of a carpet will spread the impact from a single point to a larger area, still small but many times the contact area of the fall on concrete.
Time - the glass starts to slow as soon as it makes contact with the first fiber of the carpet and continues until the carpet is fully compressed. Again, it is a very short time but many times the time allowed by the impact on concrete.
