Bummer Scott. I had a experence sorta related, but mine was more my fault or
so I was told by my NLSO.
I had recently changed the light bulbs in my LSF(basement room) and was in
the process of sorting some bulk bricks, so I had 7-8 blue tubs on the floor
open, each with different colors. Well while I was sorting I kept hearing a
loud thumping noise upstairs, I went up to investigate and found my 4 y/o
jumping off his bed. While I'm giving him the "...because I told you so"
lecture I heard a large crashing noise, the sound of glass shattering. I
procedded downstairs to find that the glass bowl that was part of the light
fixture in my LSF had come loose and fell and smashed to thousands of little
pieces, of course this covered the room with little slivers of glass
including the open tubs of bricks I had on the floor!! I took me almost a
week to carefully sort the tubs again to remove each little piece of glass.
I was still nervious to dig in the tubs for bricks for fear of cutting my hand.
That was about 6 months ago and I haven't found any glass since then, so it
looks like I'm glass free. My NLSO claims that I should have tightened the
bowl better on the fixture, while I claim my son should listen to the "wrath
of dad" and stop jumping off his bed.

| To All, I am not totally sure where to put this, this goes under experience. LMK if there is a more appropriate place.
