I've seen demonstrations of double-glazed windows where they have hit the middle of one with a sledge hammer and it bounced, but then they used a much smaller punch on a corner and the whole window shatters.
As you know, as a science person, it's the "load over the area", so big feet on a wide piece of glass is going to have a much lower pressure than a sharp hard knock on a corner.

So you shouldn't need to worry ... much :-)
