Flexibility! Glass Fiber can dissipate energy along the fiber, normal glass does not have a structure to dissipate the energy in an even form and proves easier to crack as a result. Similarly the lifting ropes of cranes are actually coiled metal fibres and not solid chain link, the metal fibres dissipate the weight better than the chain.

What is auto glass made out of?
Auto glass is made out of a strong yet flexible polycarbonate. This is stronger than normal glass and will resist scratches and crack easier than the regular glass can.
What is the world's strongest material?

What damage does a nuclear bomb to a regular bomb?
first off, of course, a nuclear bomb is thousands of times stronger than a normal bomb. a nuclear bomb also carries radiation, energy that causes poisoning and cancer, while most normal bombs cant do that.
What is the difference between Tempered Glass and Annealed Glass and which one is better?
Tempering is the process to add properties to the raw glass and to make it Standard or Toughened. If tempered (Heated) and cooled slowly, it becomes standard glass on the other hand if tempered and cooled rapidly, it gains different properties and becomes tough or is called toughened glass. Check the link below.
What is an epoxy surfboard?
an epoxy surfboard is when a surfboard is made out of epoxy resin this is more stronger and lighter than the normal fiber glass and they can have more stronger colours than fiber glass this can be done without the silk laminating process
What is added to Gorilla Glass to make it stronger than normal glass?

Is metal stronger than glass?
no.
Is carbon fiber tough?
yes its stronger than steel
Is fiber glass stronger than polycarbonate?
Fiberglass is generally stronger than polycarbonate in terms of impact resistance and durability. However, polycarbonate is known for its higher resistance to shattering and flexibility, making it a popular choice for applications where impact resistance and flexibility are important.
Is plexiglass stronger than glass?
yes
Which one is harder glass or iron?
On the Mohs hardness scale glass is harder than steel. Mohs hardness tests the ability of one material to scratch another. Steel is rated 4 to 4.5 and glass is rated at 6 to 7. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mohs_scale_of_mineral_hardness Glass is harder than steel, but it is more fragile and will break much easier. There are many different ways to measure strength. Here is a wikipedia article about the strength of materials: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strength_of_materials
