    They should've thrown a rock, or one of those damn gigapets. That's far more likely to fly at these glasses anyway.

    So it might not shatter with a gigantic force thrust upon it but I would assume it would flex back far enough to still do considerable damage to your eyes.

    @BergenCountyJC can edit his name?: It would be kind of cool to see where they take this kind of test. Like what glasses material WOULD it take to stop a speeding bullet?

    @henhen: The thing is, 10 feet is all you need unless you're diving, and then you probably need more than 33 feet. So I suspect that, on this, Oly decided not to spend the money to go that extra 20 feet. Make sense? Also, those ratings are conservative, and the thing can probably submerge farther than 10 feet with no problem. For an example of a waterproofing that works far deeper than it's supposed to, see Das Boot.
