Glass is essentially sand. Sure it may be sharp when it just broke, but it gets dull pretty fast in nature.

Of all the things that got dumped onto this beach at Ft Bragg, glass was the least problematic.

additionally, isnt glass a semi natural occurring substance? Im pretty sure ive heard of lightning strikes in deserts/sand that created glass.

I never heard of that but TIL it's called Fulgurite https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fulgurite

Glass is also created by volcanoes; we call that obsidian.

Especially when a critter chews on it accidentally, or it gets crushed under foot and some ends up in the foot.

It's the dulling process that sucks.

I once got a stick stuck in my foot. Maybe we should ban those.
