    Besides shattering the glass, what is the purpose of the tempering?

    You temper glass so that it shatters into small harmless pieces when it breaks vs shards of glass that become lethal daggers. Think about slipping and falling in a shower and breaking the glass door.. would you want a bunch of small pieces or long sharp pieces for you to fall on?
