That's an interesting pattern. I would expect lexan or any other polycarbonate to fracture to relieve the stress and not shatter like that. At first glance I saw the fragments looked a bit like safety glass where they break into small chunks and no long splinters. Normally you get a crack or split, not a total fragmentation of the material. Very interesting indeed.
