The problem is that it's far more likely to be broken. While it won't break up like float glass, it's nowhere near as resistant to impact as toughened. If there was a good reason to switch from perspex, and I'm not convinced there is, I'd go for toughened. Yes, when it does break, it's a mess, but it'll take more than thumping a relatively small window with a spinnaker pole, unless you really mean it. The above-mentioned scrote's punch is sharp, so a tap is several hundred (thousand?) psi, the pole is round, so far less pressure, even if the total force is more.Your reasoning for laminate as it's still there when broken is a very good point
