Can Dropping Glass on the Floor Cause Spalling and Ejection of Particles?

[QUOTE="mollyhudson, post: 5669430, member: 613731"] I was at the store today and the clerk helping me dropped a jar of eye cream on the ground a few feet away from me. It was quite shattered. I could hear the glass continue to travel outward along the floor (and see the fallout when I looked down), but I'm wondering if the force of the fall/break could send the glass upward as well. In other words, could the glass pieces be propelled upward and over to have landed on my jeans, jacket, etc.? Thank you for your help. [/QUOTE]
