Do worries OP. The glass used for shower doors are made to shatter. If it shattered, that means normal glass would've broken into larger chunks that could fall on someone and do some real damage. They're built to shatter as a safety feature, because the small bits normally wont do more damage than some light scratches if they hit you.
The cost to fix can suck, but if it was warped/stuck it was going to happen to the next person who tried to move it.

This sounds pretty much exactly like the story my son in law's brother told me at a family gathering, except he hasn't realized that it's a con yet. He wasn't receptive to any gentle suggestions about it. Oh well, he'll find out soon enough.

Family member was a bit tipsy and went right through one after a stumble and he put his hand out to steady himself. Blood everywhere, multiple small but very nasty cuts all over. Your FU saved her a LOT of grief. Eat the cost, and know you aren't an asshole. Your good deed had a better if seemingly worse outcome.

Unfortunately, just as many dads are still very uncomfortable with it. It's definitely a generational thing. I think the next generation of dads are going to be much more chill about it.

Sounds cheap, but he is right, no reason she can’t shower if you can put a regular tension pole and curtain up.

This is a really thoughtful response. Thank you! I had my first gout attack over twenty years ago. I have mainly controlled it by diet. But I love fish and usually get in trouble by going overboard with it. But it is normally a mild attack and quickly resolved. This time fish was only one of the combined factors of stupid that have earned me the second worse attack I've ever had.
Maybe the concept of a "cheat month" was very poorly conceived....

Don't beat yourself up over this at all, OP. As someone who has installed many tempered glass shower doors, they are known to occasionally explode for no apparent reason. The guy I work with had a brand new one explode in his hands while he was installing it, much as you described. Depending on the age of the door, you could call the manufacturer and/or installer to see if it might be under warranty.

Can you make a temp fix and get a tension pole rod and shower curtain?

It happens, one of our shower doors exploded a couple minutes after showering, was in the process of drying/getting dressed a few feet away, and bam glass everywhere.

Per google, some cities in India and China have x ray scanning of bags in metros.
I wish we had metros.

Whatever position it was stuck in probably resulted in a lot of stress.
You or the next guy, there's likely no way to avoid an explosion. However OP, while this wasn't a FU, your lack of PPE certainly was, and you're lucky not to be in the ER with a shard embedded in your foot
If you have tools out, then safety goggles and shoes are the bare minimum imo. Don't be the guy who lets his overconfidence get in the way of the fact that accidents can and will happen to everyone
