I'm all in favor of being safe - and of not having my face cut to ribbons by shards of flying glass - but I suspect you may be overestimating the force of an implosion. Also not a very likely occurrence. I'm going to guess that although safety glass or lexan would be the best choice, nearly any old piece of glass would likely contain the debris from an implosion of a 10" tube. This would be a good project for "Mythbusters" (or an adventurous AK person who likes to blow stuff up) to test out!
