Just a warning for anybody considering removal of a plate glass mirror… be careful!

DD was helping friends renovate their college apartment. One of the guys decided to lift the old plate glass mirror mirror to the outside trash bin, and it the mirror collapsed under its own weight. He was luckily wearing gloves and safety glasses and jeans, but a shard of glass went up the pant leg and sliced his leg. It also sliced through a glove. Due to tremendous bleeding they had to call 911 to take him to the hospital.

I thought it was a freak accident. But a few months later a similar thing happened to a worker doing a remodel on “The Antonio Treatment” show on HGTV. So like I said… be careful!
