Still alarming that one of them failed when subjected to the raw power of a single baby.

That's not a piece of glass dude. It has no other function than to keep people from touching the real glass.

And it failed. Now imagine how many tens of thousands of other components are on the verge of failing like that protective cover and enjoy your flight. ✈️

That’s not how any of this works. A cosmetic interior piece “failing” is not indicative that any actual important parts of the plane will fail. And the maintenance of even minor components like this is heavily regulated. As soon as the plane lands the pilots will write up it up as a discrepancy, maintenance personnel will come out to look at it, and they’ll either fix it immediately if possible or secure it safely until it can be fixed in the near future.
