If you walk around barefoot enough, your feet get tough enough that glass
isn't much of a problem.  If it is a small piece, it can't penetrate, and
a big piece simply breaks into small pieces.  For example, at the house I
lived in at Caltech, there is a brick courtyard.  The roof near this is a
popular place to break bottles.  Some glass ends up in the courtyard.  It
rarely cuts anyone, although people walk around barefoot in the courtyard
all the time.  They also use this courtyard to play foursquare, which has
a lot of running and jumping, and it is rare for anyone to get cut.
