Current network of protection not working, requires much bigger and stronger protection, which is wholly unlikely given current economic crisis and lack of instant and obvious financial gain from preventing extinctions. Bah.

I would like to point out that the only time a pub I worked in got done over, barstaff used glasses in self defence. Also this will stop the ancient traditional sport of my native homeland whereby you have to catch a pint glass on your face.

Date: 2010-09-25 01:14 pm (UTC)Oh, what goes around comes around. This is anecdotal, but an old acquaintance of mine once told me about when Legends (Opium), a rather rough rock pub at times, switched over to plastics for a while. The EMT's begged them to switch back. Plastic containers, although less likely to break the skin, can apparently do much nastier, harder-to-stitch damage when they do. While glass pint glasses are now made so that they break into big chunks, meaning any wounds tend to be quite smooth edged, plastics still break with finely jagged edges that rip up soft tissue far worse, and bleed more.
This is what I was told, anyway. It's possible, of course, that plastics have come on a bit.
