Interesting that nobody asked WHY I wound up walking through a pane of glass.
This was at a brand new theatre complex. We came out of a dark movie theatre into a brightly lit lobby area where everything was glass. It was so bright that there were no reflections off any of the glass. The stationary panes had no markings on them and looked like open walkways. On top of that, several of them (guess I chose wisely
) did not have safety glass panes, just regular glass. The interesting thing is, there were a number of people following right behind us, so SOMEBODY was gonna go through the glass that night. Lucky me.
I wound up suing and settling out of court. The "no safety glass" thing was their achilles heel. I could have gone through the courts and gotten a lot more. They were eager to settle. Turns out they were also supposed to have either a metal or plastic bar or a sticker of some sort on the glass to avoid exactly what happened. The next time I went there every stationary pane of glass had a sticker with the theatre chain logo placed at eye level. My "friends" often expressed their disappointment that the stickers didn't have my mugshot on them.
