The glasses did not shatter, but did get a nice scratch. The top edge of the glasses also hit the young lady in the forehead, leaving a small red 'dent'.

She was nowhere near the chop saw.

Had she not been wearing her glasses, she'd most certainly have lost an eye. Her glasses did exactly what they were supposed to, because she was wearing them.

True story.
Think about that.
Was she wearing official safety glasses?
