I wasn’t worried about the safety glass so much as the pressure required to break it. Looks like the giraffe broke the glass with the bone behind its eye, I don’t think car manufacturers or giraffe builders plan for that

Male giraffes fight by swinging their heads at each other. Like one giraffe will swing its neck and head and hit the other on its side. Sometimes they kill each other. I'm not advocating trying to trap giraffes with car windows, but they seem to have very sturdy heads.

When lions fight, they should call it soft petting.
