    The glass in a oven door is very special.  It is tempered and thermally cycled to prevent breakage form normal use.  I only know a a few things that will break it.

     

    1)  Mechanical hit of about 1800 lb’s per square inch.  In other words, something pointed or concentrated in a small area.

     

    2)  A thermal shock to very hot glass like ice cold water to one area.

     

    3)  Tension stress from mounting or severe twist in a door frame.

     

    If you really want to know you can always collect all the pieces and have a puzzle party.
