I dropped a glass yesterday, from waist height on to a tiled floor. It bounced and then when it hit the floor again it smashed. Why didn’t it smash the first time it hit the floor?

It probably landed the first bounce on the much thicker bottom. Then turned and landed on the side or upper rim the second time, which is a much more fragile area.
Glasses are much thicker on the bottom so we don’t actually break them just setting them down on hard surfaces during normal usage.
