i was quite skeptical at first - mainly on environmental/recycling grounds and because it doesn't tackle the root of the problem (violent drunks).
but then when you look at the scale of injuries and the potential savings for the NHS (our tax) then it doesn't seem so bad.
good example of simple design doing some good?

I know several bartenders and security guys who have gone to the hospital for serious injuries from glass... broken by themselves and by patrons
You have my vote :)

decent, it holds together even when it smashes. means the next time I'm so cunted in the pub that I'm dropping my own pints I'll still be able to drink from them.
love it. Science beats nature, once again.

They should just give those UK drinkers buckets. Tin buckets, like they use to milk cows.

unreal... the fucking UK and their lax pint laws. what they need to do is OUTLAW PINTS AND GET THOSE DAMN PINTS OFF THE STREETS AND OUT OF THE KIDS HANDS! only the innocent are killed or injured by pints. and i know what you're going to say... 'but sigg... if we outlaw pints only the bad guys will have them' FUCK YOU i say. everyone has the right to bear pints... pints don't kill people... the shitty beer in them and the people holding them do.
OUTLAW PINTS UK! DO THE RIGHT THING!

Design doing good? Kinda. Safety glass is a good idea.
