And now some views of our shattering experience:
Mahnd the gap! A see-through sea view.
The door is a great deal more damaged than the little boy.

What a beautiful view! It’s a good thing you had your camera close by, it’s so funny ;-).
I would be too scared to carry that glass without gloves.

Uh-oh, brings back the memory of when I did the same thing – only I didn’t crack the glass, just my nose!!

OUCH! We have a small decal on our sliders. It doesn’t obstruct the view. It does catch us from catastrophic calamity.

I agree with you Col. The whole point of glass is see an uninterrupted view. At least it was ‘safety glass’ – no sharp shards to fly around. Maybe a couple of metal loops on the walls to the side, where you can thread string a la takkie style across the lower half of the window, which can easily be removed when your visitors have left.

Or I might get some of those suction thingies to stick on termporarily.

Ouchies! That could have been a major disaster for that kid. I hope you told him he had used up one of his nine lives.

His parents were remarkably casual about it. Maybe he has worn them down with similar escapades.

Glad he is okay. He must have hit the door pretty hard.

I am amazed that he didn’t, at least, have concussion.

many years ago a friend of mine, who was an organist. walked through her closed patio door and severed tendons in her arm. It was months and months before she could play the organ again. I’ve always had decals or a sun catcher on patio doors since then. Plus it prevents the birds from flying into them so that is a good thing too.

The birds are the most valid point yet! We had that barbet a few weeks back.

I agree with vivinfrance. Time to put something on that door as a warning. Maybe a thunderbolt decal 😉

I’m thinking in terms of removable ones, for when we have company.

I’d prefer not to!

Whoa! Did he run into the door?

He closely followed a remote-controlled car into it. Not quite sure how he managed that, actually.

We have decals on our sliding doors, which exude a mizzy-killing product as well as alerting the unwary to the presence of solid glass. Of course you’d need to put them rather low down to warn the littlies!

After various bumped noses, we have debated decals. The attraction of an unobstructed view has always been a compelling argument, though.

You don’t see them after a while (except when trying to walk through a closed door) We had even more sliding doors in our last house and the most gorgeopus view and the stickies didn’t spoil it.

Hmm … *tending to be unconvinced and unsympathetic towards people who make it necessary to put up unsightly handrails and barriers and things at natural wonders*
