* In ''[[Ranma ½]]'', sending someone flying through a window is a favorite pastime of the characters (especially female ones). Akane's bedroom window, and the homeroom window at school, are the most common victims. Ironically, after Akane tossed Ranma through the ''open'' window one time, he tried to leap back up, only to smack firmly into the glass when she closed it.
* Averted in ''[[XxxHolicxxxHolic]]'': Watanuki's fall from the school's second floor probably wouldn't have done more than break a limb or two if he didn't have the misfortune of breaking his fall on a pane of glass. As it was, he was put in a six-day coma, and it was only through some serious supernatural intervention that he was able to survive at all. It's also implied that blood loss from the numerous cuts from the glass would've been what killed him, specifically damage to his neck, as the scars that {{spoiler|Himawari}} takes in his place as "payment" for his survival seem to indicate.
* Subverted in the first episode of ''[[Welcome to The NHK]]'' where Satou tries to break a beer bottle with a karate chop and cuts open his hand doing it.
* Subaru of ''[[Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha]]'' has a tendency to smash through windows both intentionally and unintentionally, though {{spoiler|being a [[Hollywood Cyborg|Combat Cyborg]]}} certainly helps the plausibility of her doing this. Also, she's wearing a Barrier Jacket (essentially clothing with magical [[Deflector Shields]]), which have been shown to withstand some seriously impressive impacts with no damage to the wearer at all.
