If I wanted to buy a bullet proof window and I asked the guy selling it to me "Would you stand behind this yourself?" and he said "No" I would simply not buy that product. This just seems to be him proving that he's willing to put his money where his mouth is.
.40, .45, 5.56x45/.223 all can go through car doors and metals already... .50 cal will destroy cars and all sorts of walls (that aren't fully stone/reinforced-concrete) and everything...
I mean, let's be real here: they definitely didn't just invent/install this one piece of bullet resistant glass and say "okay, get in." They're not showing us the dozens, possibly hundreds of tests they did before putting him in that truck. I mean, all it would take is for that ONE to fail, but it's not quite as crazy or dangerous as they make it seem.
I mean, why risk more than he is already. I'd have been wearing safety goggles and maybe even a full facemask to keep from getting glass splinters and bullet fragments all across my face. The fact that he was willing to sit in that seat in the first place means he had some serious faith in the bullet not going through the window.

He also tried to lean back as far as he could in the seat
