I think there is a different set of criteria we are addressing here. In cases where minifgs are using lances, axes, rifles, etc. to smash glass on vehicles so they can attack the operators directly, I have found that most efforts are unsuccessful without anything less than a halberd and/or explosives, since even standard Triplex windshields are resistant to harm, particularly as they tend to roll lots of sixes in defense!
However, in cases involving vertical plate-glass, such as in a shop window or skyscraper, where the material is just plain old ordinary glass and the minifig is simply trying to bust his way out, I suppose it would be more reasonable to suggest that you could simply smash through, as these are not necessarily made to the same specifications.
Note to self-- experiment further with glass structure...
Were it that simple...
