Does glass scare any one else
Not at all. I love glass! It's non-porous, easy to clean, and it can be sterilized. Plus it doesn't contain any harmful chemicals.
You do have to use a little bit of care when thrusting, because it's a rigid toy, and if you're too overenthusiastic you could manage to bruise your cervix. If you're playing alone, that's pretty unlikely, because you'll be able to feel what you're doing, though, so it's more of a concern with partners.
If you're concerned about glass breaking, remember that it's pyrex glass. If you drop it on a hard enough surface, it will break into chunks, not shards, if it breaks at all. It's nearly impossible to break while in use -- it's a solid piece of glass.
You should always inspect glass toys before use, just to make sure it doesn't have a chip or a stress fracture, just in case, but if you store them with a reasonable amount of care, it's pretty unlikely that they'll get damaged.

You shouldn't be afraid of glass. At first I thought it seemed really strange and scary too, I wondered why anyone would want to stick glass in themselves. After experiencing glass I can tell you it is not scary at all and absolutely pleasurable.

Seconded with real-life experience. I've dropped my glass toy on the tiled floor with no bad things happening. There's no way my vagina could break it. Like...ever.

They are rigid for thrusting, but that can be a pro as well as a con.

It doesn't concern me as far as breaking, no. I have a glass wand. Honestly? I'm just not that fond of it. It's heavy and understandably, there is zero flexibility. The best use we've found so far is anal. Even that can be tricky as there is no handle and it gets slippery quick! I wasn't impressed enough to $$pend more for one with a handle.

If they're properly made with tempered glass (ideally borosilicate) then there won't be a problem with them spontaneously breaking. I do inspect mine before each use, and try to keep them from being shocked/scratched, but glass is very durable and safe. If you're concerned then freeze the toy and drop it into boiling water. If it's going to crack that should set it off (but not weaken it).

I'm curious to know why you're concerned?
Because it's, well GLASS, and glass is generally considered fragile? No worries, all the toys I've seen made of glass, is made from the same type of glass that your Pyrex cook/bakeware is made from, so it's very sturdy, strong, and able to withstand many various temps, and pressure.
Are you concerned with the colors? Most (but not all) toys, like this Violet Wonder, are colored thru out the glass, so it's not painted on, so it won't leak, or bleed anywhere. Some do have paint on the outside, which has had some debate to it. But generally, and in my experience, all that stands up rather well.
And, yes, you CAN boil them, use a 50/50 bleach/water solution on them, and/or put them in the dishwasher to wash. You can also freeze them for that added sensation/pleasure.

I wouldn't really do the freezing then dropping it into boiling water, most glass will fracture, crack, or break when put in those kinds of extremes. It's never recommended, not only for the safety of the toy, but also for personal safety as well.

Using a glass dildo and it snaps in my snatch, LOL.

The thought of using a glass toy used to frighten me before I tried them, but I have since fallen in love with them and now realize how impossible it would be to break the toy during use. They are silky smooth and a delight to the touch, as well as to the eye.
They are also quite durable and SUCH a pleasure to use! I highly recommend them for solo play for the reasons Toy Geek described until you become accustomed to them. If you allow a partner to use them on you once you are comfortable with them, first make certain that s/he is the type of person to listen carefully to you and adjust his/her actions according to your directions. You are not likely at all to injure yourself while using a glass toy because you automatically adjust your movements to your body's reactions, but your partner doesn't know the impact a toy has on you unless you tell him/her.
I very highly recommend that everyone at least give glass toys a try. They offer sensations you just can't get with any other toy. There are many beautiful, yet very affordable, glass toys available, so you are not out much just to check them out. Worst case scenario: you have a beautiful piece of art!
