SAFETY

CUT RISK AND CHOKING HAZARD:

Our breakaway glass is made up of a combination of premium plastic resins that, when mixed and cured, exhibit similar properties to actual glass in the sense that it looks and sounds very close to the real thing.

Another similarity is that it produces very legitimate shards that can result in equally realistic hazards such as cuts, scrapes, and other injuries. Be advised, these will shatter into both large pieces, as well as very tiny slivers and shards, and will go everywhere! If broken indoors, be prepared for a mess and keep away from young children and pets, as they can also pose a choking hazard.

​

Because of this, our products should only be used under the direct supervision of a qualified stunt coordinator or other trained professional, and only after close inspection of the product, surroundings, and making sure everyone involved nearby is aware and comfortable of the usage, risks, and safety requirements involved with said product. Use of eye protection for anyone near the scene is recommended whenever possible.

​​

NOT FOR CONSUMPTION:

Our breakaways are not made from sugar and therefore they are NON-EDIBLE.  Our breakaway glass may be able to hold a very small amount of room temperature liquid ONLY (also dependent on the type of liquid and style of breakaway), however, do not consume any food or liquid that has come in contact with our breakaways.

​​

INTENDED USE:

Our products are intended for use during stunt sequences in film, television, or theater, with direct oversight by professional stunt coordinators.

Some customers may take the liberty of purchasing these items for personal use such as creating content for social media, boat christening, etc. ​

Such usage should be done so with extreme caution and is not recommended unless under the supervision of a qualified stunt professional.

​

USE OF BREAKAWAY GLASS ON ACTORS:

Although these are safer than real glass, our breakaway glass produces sharp shards and tiny pieces that can still cut and cause damage.

Our breakaway props break easily on hard, inanimate objects such as the ground or a wall. They can even be broken on actors with proper and safe usage. None of our breakaways are intended to be thrown at an actor, however. If breakaway glass is to be broken on an actor, our recommendations are:

• Do not throw at actor. This way you can control speed and point of impact.

• Do not break any handles or stems (mugs, stemware, etc.) against the actor.  Handles and stems are typically thick, do not break as easily, and may cut or puncture skin.

• Do not break on sensitive parts (ie. face, neck, etc).

• Avoid hitting actor with base of breakaway glass, as the base can tend to be slightly thicker.  

• If broken on the head, aim for the ridge or crown, the harder parts of the head, and keep away from the face, mouth, and eyes. Eye protection is recommended when possible.
