This is somewhat of a "don't try this at home' activity.

There is quite a lot of energy there - it has the potential to throw
shards a long way. I'm told (but have never been unfortunate enough to
find out, so far) that the phosphor does not do wounds any good. May
be a make-up,  or 'recovered memory' on my part.

"Letting the vacuum out" can be great fun if you  like that sort of
thing BUT, as Joe says, cover well. A good solid blow that guarantees
fracture where and when you want it is in order. In places the glass
on a large tune (29" ish) is immensely thick -  30mm+ in places and
takes some breaking if hit in a thick spot.
