    - - Smash proof glass so that burglars cannot force their way through windows or glass pane doors.
      - Could use glass and a strong, transparent material to hold the glass together and cause them to be unbreakable

  - - - Tripping on a cable can be and is very dangerous and could and does cause bodily harm! Cable management is a must in safe households, especially if you have kids who run around a lot.
    - - Having stairs that turn and you slip, you won't fall far and will sustain minimal injury.
