be quiet! tests how strong tempered glass is (video)

Ever wondered how strong those tempered glass side panels are? Be quiet! decided to answer this question in a new video that explores why case makers use tempered glass. The video shows how it's made, demonstrates several attempts to break the glass, and illustrates that tempered glass falls apart into small circular pieces rather than sharp jagged shards.

What is tempered glass? Why is it built the way it's built? And what happens if it breaks? Not only do we answer all these questions in the video but we're also going to show you the results - in slow motion!
