Tempered glass panel explosion

While tempered glass looks better quality than plexiglass 

it is known to carry risk of spontaneous explosion

it would be a big mess

Tempered plate glass is made by reheating panels of glass to about 650 C (1200 F), then quenching in streams of cold air. As the outer surfaces of the panel rapidly cool they are put into compression, while the slowly cooling center is in tension. Tempered glass is 3-5 times stronger than conventional glass of the same thickness, and gains the characteristic of breaking into small pieces in a fracture process known as dicing
