trust me - if you jumped through a real glass plate he would be sliced and stabbed to bits .. not little pokes.

the stunt was great - dont get me wrong .. no matter what he jumped through his body is going a great distance at a great speed ...and there's going to be a hard impact ... but no one will jump through real glass.

(people have been killed accidentally walking through glass doors)
I think it was real safety glass, the glass which breaks into small chunks rather than shattering into giant jagged pieces. It didn't shatter like a standard glass pane would but it probably still hurt like hell. As far as the truck scene being sped up I don't know, I do know that jackie claimed that he did not use any camera tricks. I think if he would have continued doing stunts of that magnitude he probably would have died on film. Did you see the way he landed on the clock drop? Holy crap...
