100% correct.
I have accidentally popped many of both styles in my job. Hit the edge on anything hard and its game over. This is why most balustrades will have glass fully encapsulated, or the top edge protected. Look for it and you'll notice it. Alternatively, there needs to be a backup fall prevention tied off elsewhere so if the glass goes, you dont.

However, toughened laminate obviously pops just like a solid panel, thousands of pieces, except stays together. Make a pretty heavy thud too when they pop.
