Can sliding glass doors be made shatter-proof?

Will a diamond shatter if hit with a hammer?

A diamond can shatter if hit with a hammer. While diamond is the hardest naturally-occurring mineral known, it is also brittle. The hardness means that it is difficult to cut, but the brittleness means that it is likely to splinter or shatter if enough pressure is exerted. In the case of a diamond hit with a hammer, the likelihood that the diamond will shatter will increase with the force of the hammer (based mostly on the weight) and will further increase if the diamond has any significant inclusions (indicated by a flaw in the diamond). Given the value of a diamond, it is highly recommended that you do not try this at home.
