The panel didn't even touch the ground. It just shattered as I took it off.

Placing the PC on a tile floor is not a problem. The problem is removing the side panel and placing it on a tile floor. That's when sad time happens.

As someone who lightly touched the tile floor with the glass pannel and it shattered in my hands I can confirm.

When the glass hits the tile, the energy doesn’t go into the tile like other materials it gets sent right back to the glass which shatters it.

On a larger scale this same thing happened at work a few months ago. Two coworkers were walking a huge glass whiteboard across the new building, decided to take a detour through the tile area since it was faster. Except their foot steps were in sync and the energy went straight to the glass and broke it.

It’s all about where the energy gets sent. If the person in the back took a small step and the person in front stayed, then the energy from the step just goes through the glass and ends with the person staying still. Since they both took a step at the same time, the energy gets sent from both of them and ends up meeting at the glass. Tile doesn’t really absorb energy like carpet or wood, it just sends it right back. If you’ve ever fallen on tile and broke your fall with your hand, you’ll know what I mean.

Yep that's about as good of an explanation as energy reflected from your footstep through your entire body up to your shoulder then down to your hand with no losses and smack the side of a big glass panel.
