I don't think anyone has seen the point of my question, I know about escape windows I know about toughened glass I know about laminated glass I used it most days in my job as a office partition fixer but the point is if a person could not break a double glazed window in an emergency why do we need toughened glass in double glazing to stop people falling through it as I said I would like to know.

Because nobody IF a float glass unit shatters, life is at risk, IF txg shatters it isn't

Have you read my original post 13, it was about people being trapped. In the program I recall I think it was geoff capes doing his upmost to break a double glazed window with a succession of weapons however hard he tried he could not break the glass, now as I say what has happened in the following years that we now need toughened glass to stop people falling through it. That was my question as I would like to know now if you don't know either there is no shame in not knowing the answer.
