Abstract
The transfer of glass to persons breaking a window while wearing tracksuits, shellsuits and jeans with jumpers was studied. The effects of wet and dry clothing, contacting the window, smashing out most of the window with multiple blows and stepping through the broken window were investigated. The results are presented in terms of the number of fragments found on the upper bodywear and legwear and on the debris sheets. Fragment size, distributions and the distribution of fragments with original surfaces are included. The type of clothing had some effect on the number of fragments transferred to and recovered from the person breaking the window. Similar results were obtained from persons smashing out the remaining glass or walking through the broken window. Wet clothes may contain more fragments compared to dry clothes.
