This. A breach in the neck rarely results in implosion, but a nick to the face has always been considered an implosion waiting to happen. Sometimes the wait isn't long. I remember a question to TV Guide's regular tech Q&A column about what to do about a TV screen nicked by a kid's thrown toy. The reader was advised to carefully--carefully--unplug the TV, turn it toward the wall, then run (not walk) to the nearest repair shop.
Safety glass serves a dual purpose.
