Default Windscreens O'Brian scare mongering?

I have been listening to that Windscreens O'Brian radio add...

Ok, story goes that some poor tool had a chipped screen, he turns on the car heater one frosty morning and BAM his windscreen (WS..) shattered...

I have 2 chips in my WS, I guess they would be called "Bulls Eye's" and one is around 5-6mm in dia, the other 9-12mm dia.

Been there several years the both of them... and nothing like this has ever happened, any any frosty morning, or the countless snow trips etc.

I guess this MAY happen if you pour a jug of boiling water driectly on the cold glass, but come on.. a car heater? My car takes several minutes to GRADUALLY warm up on a frosty morning, no instant furnace like the add makes up....

So?? how many people has this actually happened to??
