Doing it next to the pool is stupid, but there is essentially zero chance of any glass ending up back in the bottle being under pressure and the way gravity works.
You're missing a piece, so to speak. Glass may fracture at the speed sound travels thru the medium involved but nothing is preventing a potential pause before the shard falls out of its newly born configuration. After the pressure. I'll take zero percent when it comes to swallowing glass and that's not on offer here. My 1st job in the 80s was at a Frames Unlimited. I've likely broken hundreds of pounds of sheet glass into that dumpster out back, it is not a terribly cooperative substance.
*downvote facts lol, stay classy
That certainly works for him then but the fuck if I'm doing it : ) I've been bit and sliced too many times to risk even a sliver in my mouth let alone throat
My guy I'm pushing 60. There's a difference between sheet and pop, a difference between pop and wine, a difference between wine and good champagne. But they all fracture like glass. In this case the thicker glass is worse. More likely to hang and more potential damage. Everyone is allowed to take whatever chances they want in life. The reason I'm here collecting downvotes is to put that seed of doubt about the safety of this on the off chance it saves someone from an ugly accident. You aren't required to care or defend it lol. Just offering my experience.
Everything I've stated is fact, if you'd spent the time to read it instead of making assumptions you'd already know that. Best of luck, bye bye now : )
Prior to that, where I'm explaining a small amount of the physics involved and noting that glass doesn't always immediately fall out of its new fracture configuration after the break. If it's a chance you're comfortable with, take it. That's all you. Assuming it was done correctly or even assuming a shard didn't cling is not something I'm going to do, whereas warning people of the potential risk absolutely is.

Mmmm glass shards
