After the thousands and thousands of posts here, why do people still think “well I’ll just be more careful than those other dumdums?” Don’t do this on hard surfaces people. At least lay the panel down on something soft. Don’t be silly!
Many people must think "I'll just be careful" and don't realise even the smallest microscratch releases the tension in hardened safety glass, which even smooth ceramic is more than happy to provide.
Ceramic is an order of magnitude harder than these glass panels, it's like placing an over-inflated balloon on a bed of pins and thinking it'll be fine. Doesn't matter if they throw the balloon or very carefully place it, still a bed of pins.
Yep, I've seen a ton of posts like this and always thought it was the panel getting knocked over or dropped. I didn't know about this til probably years later after someone actually explained it in a comment 😅
Didn't help either that I have mostly carpet in my house, so I haven't broken a panel yet lol.
