There are different types of glass, but as long as you handle and store them properly, they are one of the safest and most favoured materials on the market.

Here you can find the same discussion going on.
Here, ToyTimeTim demonstrates the durability of Pyrex glass. It's really interesting to watch, especially if you are quite skeptical of glass.

Glass sex toys are extremely strong, and impossible to break using just your hands, so a person's vaginal or anal muscles certainly aren't going to do the job. The only thing to be concerned about is storage and not dropping the toy on a hard surface (though some glass toys are even strong enough to withstand being slammed against concrete).

While I've never tried a glass toy, I would really like to.
As previously mentioned, they are generally tempered and treated to be particularly strong, and won't break with typical and judicious use.

The biggest precautions are to be gentle during use, as rigid materials can injure you more than soft ones if you are rough... And to check the surface of the toy for cracks or chips before use. Otherwise, they're very safe. I hope to invest quite soon, myself.

As long as you check them over before use you will be fine. As mentioned by Rarity, In did two test on glass toys. In the first one she linked, you can see that they can put up with some abuse, surely more than your ass can give. Just be careful about sitting on them and or dropping them.

Tempered borosilicate glass is very strong and resistant to temperature changes. As long as it isn't scratched and it's been made properly there won't be any problems. Scratches concentrate force, so a scratched toy needs to be treated with care (small scratches can be buffed out).

Be careful with temperature on glass and metal plugs because they have a pretty big thermal mass, and you can injure yourself if the plug is too hot or cold.
