It is my experience being in EMS for 20+ years that non-tempered glass will cause some very bad injuries should it break. In an accident you could end up getting some impaled in bad places, not to mention a lot of lacerations and danger to those who try to help you. We take out tempered glass windows all the time to gain access without harm, but nontempered are too dangerous.
