from WW1

and surprisingly durable,

The earliest water canteens were often made of thick glass. Probably in the end, unsatisfactory due to the danger of the glass splintering, causing additonal wounds.

I am agree with your point that there is danger of the glass splintering and additional wounds on our body. But there is lot of benefits of glass bottles as compare to plastic bottles such as 

  • EASY TO CLEAN
  • HOLDS A STEADY TEMPERATURE
  • ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY
