Glass media hard drives

If glass is a slow moving liquid as demonstrated by 50 year old running
window glass, how do drive makers expect thier media not to 'dish out'
from the centrifugal force exerted on them?

I'm sure glass media is not all that uncommon, but the only drives I KNOW
use it are the 2.5" Toshiba drives used in notebooks. You have to use a
lot of force, but if you whip one at a concrete floor, the platters will
break into zillions of pieces.

Glass, and the fact that these particular drives are none too reliable
made me wonder.
