15 Times Where The Glass Was ALMOST Not Strong Enough!

glass say brilliant material that can be used in a wide range of applications from glassware to windows to protective barriers and many more in between sometimes though no matter how thick or treated it is it doesn't always do the job it's meant to get ready to see things that'll break your nerves to pieces number 15 Tiger and the glass we've all been to a zoo where the animals are kept behind a glass panel so we can clearly see what's happening in the enclosure but what do you think would happen if an aggressive animal tries it's best to break through glass isn't as strong as steel bars for example so how safe is it here a man is casually sat in front of the glass at a tiger exhibit and unbeknownst to him the star of the attraction has approached from behind to investigate what he is it stands up on its hind legs and begins to scratch at the glass but still the man stays cool and calm and stands up in front of it with his back turned luckily for him the tiger doesn't manage to break through but there's almost a moment where you wonder whether it will actually be able to surely if it had put its full weight into it the glass would have been tested to its limits so do you think you'd have been able to stay so relaxed if you were there at the time before we go on we have a cool challenge for y'all that will take 5 seconds to complete let's make a deal just to leave a like on this video smash that subscribe button and hit the notification bell and you will get 10 years of amazing luck and fortune try it it actually works number 14 lion and kids if a lion was to see a human child set in the wild it probably wouldn't think twice about trying its chances to hunt at us pray but even with a glass panel in the way things don't exactly seem safe in this clip a young boy has been set in front of the enclosure by his parents but once the line spots him it leaps over to try and get ahold of him it scratches against the glass and tries all it can to get through and seems confused about white can see the child but can or some reason reach it it keeps trying but eventually is forced to give up as it realizes that the juicy snack in front of it simply cannot be reached the parents keep filming and laughing at what's happening while the child is completely oblivious to the wild cat that's up behind him if this was your boy would you be confident enough in the glass to let him stay where he sat or would you move him away to a safe distance number 13 watch the tiger white Tigers are the same species as the orange Bengal tigers but because of a mutation in the genes that dictate the pigment development they grow up to have a stunning white and black coat behaviorally they're exactly the same though and no one in their right mind would turn their back on one right here a man is visiting a Wildlife Sanctuary and has taken a break stood against the enclosure wall while his friend takes a picture of him with the tiger in the background he doesn't realize it but the big cat has become interested in him oh and stand still ready to strike suddenly it leaps into action and smashes into the glass panel with such force that the man jumps out of the way he felt the vibration through the glass and had the protective barrier being any weaker it would have surely shattered once he realizes that the tiger has been contained he jokes around but there was a moment there when he thought he was in trouble he'll definitely think twice about where he poses for a photo opportunity in the future number 11 monkeys can be jerks here a family is visiting their local zoos popular monkey exhibits they are up against the glass panel making noises and faces at the animals and the monkeys interact back with them she sticks her tongue out and bears her teeth at the people who don't realize she isn't playing so much as being protective over her baby that's holding on to her back the monkey is so big and powerful if she put her mind to it she'd surely be able to break through the glass luckily for the people she's more concerned with keeping safe than packing so refrains from trying to attack them an instead continues to make threatening gestures even though animals in zoos are kept behind protective walls this is a great example of why you should treat them with the respect they deserve and don't try to wind them up it's scary enough for them to be kept in an enclosure and by agitating them nor only encouraging them to lash out towards you and there's always a slight possibility they may be able to reach you number 10 the lion waits for the kid to turn around lions are some of the most feared predators in the animal kingdom and if this next video is anything to go by it's clear why they're smart sneaky and seriously quick and if there hadn't been a strong glass barrier in the way this young child would most certainly have been lunch he's looking through at the lion and enjoying his time at the zoo like countless kids do every day and the lion seems as tame as ever simply sitting down and looking straight back from a distance you can tell it's planning something though and as soon as the child turns around to look at his parents the lion leaps into action it's incredible how quickly it's able to run across the enclosure and in just a few seconds its careered into the glass barrier ready to strike at the boy it makes such a collision that you can hear the thud from the other side and the child was so startled that he fell forward it's yet more proof that if we were in the wild without the protection of a glass panel we wouldn't stand a chance number nine terrifying thing glass panels are particularly good when you're looking at an exhibit of animals that live in water because it allows you to see what's beneath the surface and on top in a way that steel bars would never be able to this doesn't however make it feel any safer when the largest species of bear in the world decides to attack here a young child is admiring the polar bear enclosure and curiously watching it as it swims in the water as the child stands up the polar bear leaps out and towards the glass and slams into it with its paws understandably the boy has the fright of his life and walks away feeling frightened the however isn't quite done after its first failed attempt and continues to follow the boy along the wall waiting for another opportunity to strike the parents of course start laughing and think the whole thing's funny but it would have been a completely different story if the bear had managed to put just a bit more power into its move and managed to break through the glass number eight water glass polar bears are ferocious creatures and there's a reason why they are seen as the apex predators in the Arctic they're far larger than any other species of bear and with massive paws they are able to swim through the water just as effectively as they can run across the frozen landscape here a young girl is watching through the glass wall of a polar bear enclosure and she learns firsthand how elegantly fast and frightening the animals can be before the clip starts she had been watching the polar bear but her attention is drawn towards her mother who is speaking to her from the side the moment she looks away the bear decides it's the perfect time to attack so it leaps from the water and launches itself in her direction there's a big splash as it slams into the wall and while the girl finds it funny the bear seems to be surprised by what happened it tries to style it out by scratching against the glass panel but we all saw the mistake it made number seven mark or cracks glass in a zoo mark oars are a large species of goat that are native to Central Asia and are known for their magnificent corkscrew horns they use these to battle one another when they're competing for a mate but if they ever decide to turn this power on something else a glass panel for example then the result can be dangerous this one was a new arrival to the zoo and was still getting used to its surroundings it must be really confusing for animals when they first encounter transparent viewing windows like this and wanting to see what's on the other side it begins to thrust its horns to try and break through it's a first few attempts don't get it anywhere but in a testament to how powerful and persistent these goats are it keeps trying for several minutes slightly altering its technique every time it strikes by the time it's worn out the glass is covered in scratches and even a small crack just imagine what would have happened if the glass hadn't been there number six monkey breaks a glass while you may have seen some of the largest animals in the world trying to break out of an enclosure sometimes all it takes is a little bit of force and a clever plan monkeys are known for being one of the most intelligent species on earth and this one has been planning its escape for quite some time it approaches the glass and starts banging on it but instead of using just its hands it has picked up a large rock from inside the enclosure after a couple of attempts it manages to hit the glass with a pointed bit of the rock and the panel shatters it seems this was as much of a surprise for the monkey as it was for the people that were watching and it ran away as quickly as it could before the zookeepers found out and it got into trouble it just goes to show that no matter how many precautions you take when you're dealing with wild animals you have to be prepared for the unexpected luckily on this occasion no one was hurt and no animals escaped and the zoo replaced the glass with a much thicker version number five oh my god while you might think a protective barrier between you and a powerful gorilla means that you're safe there's always that slight panic when they attack just in case the glass doesn't hold here in a wildlife sanctuary guests are watching the animals through a glass bubble which has been designed to give a much closer experience than a simple flat panel could they're looking out and the mountain gorilla is standing close staring back at them and for a moment it's not even entirely clear who's watching who the people are laughing filming and pointing at it then suddenly the gorilla has had enough it approaches the viewing dome raises its hands above it and then smashes down on the glass as hard as it possibly can luckily for the people inside it simply bounces off but not before giving them the fright of their lives after realizing it'll never reach them the gorilla turns to walk away and the people decide that they're probably better off going to look at some of the smaller animals instead what would have been your response if that had been you in there number four polar bear throws a stone it's one thing if an animal tries to break through a glass barrier by using just its power and claws but it's a completely different story if they try to use tools to get through to the people on the other side this video was recorded in a basement level viewing gallery that has a glass panel looking into the underwater area of a popular bear enclosure they spend a lot of their time in swimming in the water and it's a great opportunity to see how they behave in an environment that's usually beyond our view the bear however doesn't seem to like being watched and has picked up a rock from the surface and swum down with it it launches the rock at the window and you can hear the loud bang as it hits the glass luckily aquarium walls like this are extremely thick to hold back the weight of the water so a rock wouldn't be able to do much damage right well think again because the bear strikes the glass with the rock for a second time and on this attempt it manages to crack it the damage wasn't so severe that the water started pouring through but if it had tried again on the same spot it surely would have managed to escape number three wild polar bear tries to break in usually animals only come face-to-face with glass when they're kept in habitats around humans such as in zoos or wildlife sanctuaries and in these situations it's then that are being kept confined and the people have free reign to move around if you flipped the situation though then the animals most definitely have the upper hand and you could end up fearing for your safety this cameraman was filming for a nature documentary in the Arctic and was staying in a glass paneled feeing dome to ensure that he was safe while recording the movement of polar bears you might think that taking a structure like this with he was overkill but we soon see how wise a move it actually was one of the polar bear sees him and as food is scarce saw him as a juicy meal it starts bashing and scratching at the glass windows desperately trying to break in she rocks him about and tries with all her might to crack open this strange see-through object but ultimately has to give up the cameraman even though he's used to being around wild animals admitted afterward that his fear during the encounter was far more than his fascination in the bear and that he was wishing and praying that he was going to come out of it alive number two shark breaks into ghost cage you've probably seen people diving with sharks inside the safety of a steel cage and may have even experienced it for yourself the problem with these structures though is that they somewhat limit what you can see around you so there's an alternative a box made from toughened glass that offers a 360 degree view and is known as a ghost cage in theory these are just as safe as less steel versions but as in this video shows things can occasionally go wrong but soon after entering the cage the diver finds himself surrounded by a number of very large great white sharks somehow they manage to figure out where the door to the cage is and start to attack it and the diver inside struggles to keep it closed at one point one of them manages to actually get inside the cage but luckily it doesn't have much room to move so it can be pushed back out before it causes any damage it's yet more proof that no matter how safe you may think you are with wild animals you still have to keep your wits around you because anything can happen number one gorilla to break glass at zoo keeping animals in captivity is a highly contentious thing with many arguing that they should be allowed to live in the wild like nature intended the number of times creatures are seen trying to break out or at least attempt to smash through walls is a sign that they're not coping well with their environment and sometimes their behavior can prove to be extremely dangerous for themselves as well as for the people that are looking at them from supposed safety these gorillas haven't exactly the largest enclosure you'll ever see and with so many people on the other side of the glass wall one of them decides to attack in a flash it comes bounding across the ground and slams into the window with such ferocity that it would be enough to make anyone jump back luckily this time it wasn't able to damage the glass but it definitely seems as if it almost manages to while the gorilla probably only suffered a dent to its ego things could have been very different if the glass had given way which of these was your favorite and what do you think would have happened if the glass did actually break make sure to let us know into the comment section also check out our other cool stuff showing up on
