    Agreed.

    I'm sure that method was found on accident.

    Can you imagine the 1st guy who accidentally let go and expected a 'crashing'?

    Could you imagine being there to watch the glass fall to the table for the very first time? It would have made my heart skip a beat!

    Actually, it's pretty common knowledge. I used to work in a frame shop out of high school and the oldies there used to do that with the over sized glass. You just have to make sure your landing surface is completely clean. I can only imagine how much one of theses large pieces cost.

    I was referring to the *1st* individual who EVER let the glass fall. Way back before the industry picked it up & started the manufacturing processes.

    I was going way back.

    Much like the surprise of the first guy who accidentally or experimentally COOKED his meat instead of eating it raw....

    Switched over to the dark side of lighting. LEDs. The force is strong with this one!

    Don't worry dude. Wasn't trying to call you out. Just adding to the conversation.

    The deal they "load" it onto is just like an air hockey table. That's why it lands like that. Crazy to see.
